FOREWORD

This volume, the sixth successive issue of the American Library Annual, or the
24th by inclusion of its predecessor the AnntuU Literary Index, develops the plan outlined
last year, of making each yearly volume of distinctive and permanent value by presenting
annually features of a special character. Thus the summaries of representative libraries,
presented this year are from libraries other than the three-score included in the preceding
volume. This feature was found widely acceptable last year, and it is believed will be
of permanent record value, though it did not ha^ the hoped-for result of substantially
increasing the support of the volume and enabling larger extension.

Among the new features this year which it is proposed to repeat from year to year,
is the inclusion of the valuable summaries regarding reference books of the year by
Isadore Gilbert Mudge and of library legislation from William R. Eastman. Another is
the special list of libraries of religion and theology, complementing the lists of law and
medical libraries presented last year.

The development of special or business libraries is becoming increasingly important
and the list of these libraries in the present volume is practically new, because of its
increase of scope and the additional information given. This, it is believed, will make the
Annual of greater value both to business libraries and to general libraries, which should
be in closer touch with libraries of distinctive character and special collections. This list
should help toward the aim of the entire library profession, in general or in special
libraries, to interrelate with each other so that all libraries may be of the largest service
both to the general and to the special public.

A most important and practically helpful new feature will be found in the summaries
of library schools and courses of library teaching, which have been prepared with much
care and with the co-operation of the respective schools. These summaries will answer
many questions which are put before librarians by intending students.

"Library Work" is included this year as last year, re-shaped from the Library Journal
and combined into one alphabet as was done last year at the urgent desire of librarians
to make practical use of this division for frequent reference.

A chief feature of previous Annuals is omitted from this year's issue, i.e., the general
library list, for the reason that the American Library Association has planned with the
United States Bureau of Education for the early issue of a> library list, more compre-
hensive both in the number of libraries and in the detail of information. If this list is
promptly issued from year to year, it will be undesirable and in fact impracticable for
private enterprise to compete. If the plan is not adequately or promptly carried out,
there may be need for the resumption of this feature on the same scale as previous years
in the American Library Annual.

The continuance of the world war has made information as to foreign libraries and
foreign affairs so imperfect and inadequate that the data regarding foreign libraries and
foreign periodicals are not presented this year. It is impossible, in fact, to learn to what
extent foreign periodicals have; been suspended or abandoned, by any inquiry that can
be made, and American libraries are quite in the dark on this subject.

The Index to Dates, superseded in the last volume by the separate publication of
Information, was covered by the continuation of that periodical and the issue of the
annual volume for the year 1916. This monthly and quarterly periodical was with 1917
turned over to the Cumulative Digest Corporation, an independent business concern,
which decided after the completion of the first half year, to amalgamate Information
with the Business Digest, which had been started in April by the same corporation. The
new publishers arranged to complete the year's subscription for Information with the
Business Digest, now issued weekly, and propose to publish cumulation volumes of the
Business Digest for 1917, which will range with the previous yearly volumes of Information
and continue to include much of the same material.

It is to be hoped that the changes from time to time in the American Library Annual
will commend themselves to librarians in making this publication a practical working
tool, and suggestions for its betterment with that end in view arc cordially invited.

Bookbuying for public libraries. C. B.
Roden. Wis. Lib. Bull., N., 1915. p. 312-313-

"Narrowing the subject down to methods
of buying books for libraries rather than
principles, it will be in order to consider
(a) where to buy, (6) how to buy, and (r)
what price to pay. ... It is best to buy . . .
from that dealer nearest home from whom
reasonable services and prices can be se-
cured." It is best to arrive at a definite
understanding with one dealer and then to
give him all your business, new and old, cur-
rent and replacement. "Out-of-print books
are 'another story.' " All that dealers do with
such orders is to advertise or turn the list
over to a second-hand book concern; a libra-
rian can do this himself and so reduce the
expense. To buy "bargain books" is rarely
expedient, for such books are usually outside
actual "wants," and must be kept for the
chance of future usefulness. "It is cheaper
to buy a book when you want it, even if it
costs a few cents more." As to what price
to pay, the United States Supreme Court, in
the Macy case dealt a severe blow to the
net-price system by declaring that "any at-
tempt to maintain prices by coercion or con-

certed action is illegal," and bookbuying by
librarians is at present a matter for the in-
dividual library and the individual bookseller.

"Another small thing that indicates the
interest shown by the reading public and is a
great help to the library staff," writes George
E. Nutting in the 1915 report of the Fitch-
burg (Mass.) Public Library, "is the 'request'
book that has been on the delivery desk ever
since the library was opened. There were
60 requests this year, practically negligible
in relation to the circulation of the library,
but still significant as to the interest of
studious and zealous users of the library. Of
the 60 books asked for six were not ordered.
Of these six, four were undesirable fiction,
one was a magazine for which it was in-
expedient to subscribe, and the other book
could not be found. Of books on ethics and
religion nine were asked. There were three
requests for books concerning government
and growth of nations; 15 for industrial
books ; two each for music history and theory,
and poems; five books of travel; three of
biography; four of history, and 11 acceptable
books of fiction. Deducting the books of
fiction and the books not ordered there remain
43 books out of the 60 along the line of
serious literature. This number, though
small, is so high in ratio to the total requests
that it is deemed exceedingly significant and
important as reflecting interest in the best
use of the library opportunities."

How to select books. Rebecca W. Wright.
Bull, of the Vt. F. P. L. Comm., Mr., 1916.
p. 3i-33« Also printed in Bull, of the N. H.
Pub. Libs., Mr., 1916. p. 164-166.

Considering first the library helps of most
use in bookbuying, Miss Wright mentions the
A. L. A. Booklist, the state's quarterly Bulletin,
the A. L. A. Catalog of 1904 and its Supple-
ment 1904-IZ, Miss Humble's "Children's
books for the first purchase," and a number of
special lists issued by libraries and commis-
sions. She advises spending from one-third to
one-half of a small library's income on books
for children. By way of warning she enu-
merates eleven "don'ts," cautioning librarians
against depending too much on publishers'
and booksellers' catalogs; against sacrificing
quality to number of volumes; against buying
sets, dealing with subscription agents or
trusting to department store bargains ; against
leaving the selection to the last minute or to
one person; against bu3ring editions of the
classics so cheap they will never be read; and
against economizing in the matter of buying
reinforced bindings for fiction and children's
books that will have hard wear.

As for the principles of selection, the libra-

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

rian must be guided by the gaps in her collec-
tions and the needs of her community. The
proportion of fiction in libraries varies from
25 to 100 per cent, but the wise libraries keep
below 40 per cent Miss Wright closes with
quotations from Dr. Bostwick and Miss Bacon
on the much-debated question of ''What makes
a book immoral?"

In response to the query, "Do you advise
purchasing the cheaper reprint editions of
popular copyright fiction?" LeRoy JefFers, of
the order department of the New York Public
Library, writes as follows in the October num-
ber of the New Jersey Library Bulletin:

"It seems probable that some libraries are
unacquainted with the facts concerning the
reprints of popular copyright fiction. In the
case of lower priced editions bearing the im-
print of the original publisher, they are of
course printed from, the same plates as the
regular edition. This is likewise the case with
a large number of titles bearing the imprint
of publishers of reprint editions. The entire
book is manufactured by the original pub-
lishers, being printed from the same plates,
bound by machine in the same manner, and
differs from the regular edition only in a
somewhat less expensive paper and in a cheap-
er cloth for the cover which is not lettered
in gold.

"A fair comparison of the regular with the
reprint edition on each title will determine
whether one is warranted in expending the
difference in their cost for the purchase of
the more expensive book. It should be noted
whether the type shows thru the paper and
whether sufficient ink is used for a clear im-
pression. If the cover design of the cheaper
book is offensive, the sheets may be rebound
at once in buckram at less total cost than that
of the regular edition in publisher's covers.

"In the actual number of circulations ob-
tained from regular and reprint editions before
they have to be rebound, we have found sur-
prisingly little difference. After they are re-
bound in full buckram statistics show that the
reprint continues to give good service. About
three copies of a reprint may be purchased for
the same total cost as one copy of the regular
edition, and far more circulations may be ob-
tained in this way. In the matter of cleanli-
ness three copies of the same tide in reprint
form, purchased successively as the sheets be-
come soiled and ready for discarding, will give
better service than reliance on one copy in the
original form which is retained for the same
number of circulations.

"Gassic fiction should rarely be bought in
the form of reprints, and juvenile titles in-
tended for reading room collections are often
best purchased in the original elaborately dec-
orated covers, for their aesthetic value."

— For Special CUsset

"What can I find to read aloud?" Some
books for the convalescent patient Edith
Kathleen Jones. The Nurse, F., 1916. p. 79-
88. (Also separately printed, with editorial
comment.)

Miss Jones, who is the librarian of the Mc-
Lean Hospital at Waverley, Mass., offers in this
paper "not a compilation of favorite books,
but rather a loosely classified catalog of a
number of stories, poems, and essays which
'read aloud well' (all books do not, however
absorbing they may be), and which, therefore,
may offer some suggestions to nurses of con-
valescent or chronic patients. Some well-
known books and authors are purposely omit-
ted because of the very fact that they are so
well known — Longfellow, Whittier, Tennyson,
Dickens, and Thackeray, for instance."

Following her informal comment on a num-
ber of books which nearly every one enjoys, as
well as those which appeal chiefly to men and
those which are "as interesting as a story," is
a bibliography compiled by Julia S. Stockett of
the University of Wisconsin Library School,
in collaboration with Miss Jones. This divides
the fiction into two groups, short stories and
light fiction, and novels. The non-fiction is
subdivided into description and travel, essays
and letters, books of outdoor life, poems, and
biography.

BOOK SIZES

For those who accession their books and
have to use the old fashioned measuring
ruler, with the marks of Q O D S, Walter
C. Green, of the Meadville (Pa.) Theological
School Library, has found it a good plan
to cut on the edge of the accession book a
notch for each letter and then to paste on
the black book a little white gummed letter
Q O D S at the right place. One can then
lay a book at the edge of the accession book
and get its size without troubling with the
size card or size ruler.

BOOKPLATES

The Public Library of New Bedford, Mass.,
has adopted a new bookplate. The design,
which is oval, pictures the library building, a
full-rigged whaling ship and a loom, thus
indicating the past and present industries of
New Bedford. On the left is placed the
date of the librar/s incorporation, 1852; on
the right the date of entrance into the new
building, 1910. Two other attractive library
bookplates have recently come to this office,
one from the University of Alabama and the
other from the library of the University of
Illinois, for use in the books "purchased from
Mr. H. A. Rattermann of Cincinnati in 1915."

— Inatraction in History of

A half-course in the history of the printed
book, conducted by George Parker Winship,
librarian of the Harry Elkins Widener Mem-
orial Library at Harvard, is offered by the
division of the fine arts of that university.
The course is open to students at Radcliffe
as well as to the Harvard undergraduates,
and at present about a dozen are taking the
course, which, as the catalog states, "is in-
tended for men who are interested in books
as objects of art, and who desire to possess
or to produce beautiful books. The lectures
on the history of printing and its subsidiary
crafts will be supplemented by discussions of
the characteristic qualities which affect the ex-
cellence and the value of any volume. The
physical make-up of a book and the condi-
tions governing its manufacture will be ex-
plained with sufficient detail to provide a basis
for sound judgment of the quality of any
piece of work.

"The lectures will treat of book produc-
tion from the period of the illuminated manu-
scripts to the present time. The work of
the men who made noteworthy contributions
to the advancement or the deterioration of
the art of fine book-making will be studied
historically and technically. Considerable at-
tention will be given to the presses which are
now producing good work.

"The incidental aspects of the subject
which affect the collecting of books will be
considered. An important object of the course
is to train the taste of book-buyers, and to
cultivate a well-informed judgment of the
value of rare and attractive volumes. The
method^ by which books of moderate impor-
tance are made to seem desirable will be ex-
plained. Old and modem examples of good
and bad book-making will be shown. There
will be opportunities to examine volumes be-
longing to members of the class and to ex-
press opinions as to their fundamental and
commercial value."

The class meets in the Widener Memorial
room and the lectures are illustrated by ex-
amples from the Harry Elkins Widener Li-
brary as well as from the other special col-
lections and the Treasure Room of the Har-
vard Library. The class will visit the Boston
Public and other near-by libraries to examine
the literary and bibliographical treasures
which they contain, and also some of the pri-
vate libraries in the neighborhood. In addi-
tion to the required reading, each student will
be expected to prepare a written report upon

the bibliography of some subject of especial
interest to him.

The following six questions constituted the
mid-year examination in the subject, with a
note that satisfactory answers to the first three
questions would be sufficient.

I. Deicribe bibliographically a fifteenth century book.
Add, in the form of readable notes, anj infomut-
tion you may have about the book or ita printer.
State what other facts would be desirable, and
where you would expect to find them.

a. Criticise the tj^o^aphical api>earance of a piece
of modern printing, suggesting changes which
might improve its appearance, dpectfiy the type-
letters which seem well or badly designed, stating
reasons.

3. What were fifteenth century books about?

4. How would you distinguish a block-book from a
Costeriana ?

5. Which is the more important book, the Thirty-
six or the Forty-two line Bible? Why?

6. What was accomplished by Peter Schoeffer;
Nicholas Jenson; Colard Mansion; Henry Brad-
shaw; Robert Proctor; W. A. Copinger.

This is the third article in the series "Econ-

devoted to the use of books as text-books
and the author emphasizes the importance
of expending much energy in a short period
of time in order to get the most out of books.
With reference to general reading he urges
that we should learn to read a book without
reading on the average more than a quarter
of it.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

A feature of the Saturday afternoon story
hour in the Public Library of Redlands, Cal.,
has been the hike or tramp taken every fourth
Saturday by the older boys. Out of "Tramp
Saturda/' grew the "Story Hour Hiker's
Book" and "Hiker's Shelf." In the Story
Hour Hiker's Book are kept a record of the
story of the tramps, map of the route taken,
pressed specimens of flowers found on the
tramp and a series of camera pictures telling
the story; also a list of the trampers. On the
Hiker's Shelf are various curios found during
the tramps.

The development of a taste for literature
in children. Orton Lowe. The Child (Lon-
don). D., 1915. p. 133-136.

The author is assistant superintendent of
schools of Alleghany County, Pa., in the
Pittsburgh district. He maintains that sug-
gestion is the "master method" for instilling
a taste for good books, and that "the indul-
gence of a child in reading only what he likes
and as much as he likes, if carried out in
many phases of his activity, will result in
mental and moral coniusion."

An interesting experiment has been tried in
the children's room of the library at Wellesley,
Mass. Picture covers of books purchased dur-
ing the year, the titles being removed, have
been placed on the bulletin boards three at a
time for a few days and the children have been
allowed to guess what book is represented.
They could look on the shelves constantly to
help decide and each child could vote once.
At the end of the contest a book was presented
to the boy and the girl guessing the largest
number.

A Library League has been formed in the
Lowell (Mass.) Public Library through the
efforts of Miss Bertha G. Kyle, the children's
librarian, to promote and foster the love of
good reading among children; to encourage
the purchase of the best books for children;
and to co-operate with the city library toward
these ends.

At the present time there are over one hun-
dred members in the Library League, 26 of
these members being adults. Those under
fifteen years of age who join the league
pledge themselves to handle all library books
carefully; to be quiet and orderly in the chil-
dren's room or in any part of the city library ;
to invite others to join the Library League,
and to try to interest them in good books.

The active members of the league must
be registered as card holders at the library.

There is also a clause, or an agreement.
for associate members (young people over fif
teen and adults) which reads as follows: "The

object of the Library League meets with my
approval; and I will lend it my support m
some of the ways indicated over my signature. "*
Those who sign the agreement stipulate one
or more of the following things:

I agree to interest residents of neighborhood in
objects of Library League.

Obtain information concerning the best literature
for children.

Observe the kind of books children are reading.

Use influence in promoting the sale of the best
juvenile literature in Lowell.

Assist in making the best children's books popular
throughout the city.

CHILDREN'S BOOKS
—Exhibits of

The Hartford Public Library holiday exhibit
of children's books. (Proline M. Hewins.
Bull, of Bibl., O., 1915. p. 214-215.

An interesting description of conditions
affecting the collection and buying of chil-
dren's books for the annual holiday exhibit.
Besides the books procured through local
dealers and during a visit to New York, sale
catalogs are watched all the year so as to
buy wherever possible books that often can-
not be afforded at the first price; Mary Mac-
gregor's "Story of France," for example, re-
duced to $1.50, and the "Baby birds," "Baby
beasts," and "Baby pets" for about the same
amount. Books are also shown that have
been published for several years, like Scud-
der's "Children's book," to remind mothers
who think it expensive, that it is a good in-
vestment as a gift to the whole family. When
the stock is collected, press notices of the
date and scope of the exhibit are written, and
postcards of invitation are sent to mothers'
clubs and libraries in nearby towns. Several
of the libraries have book displays of their
own for a few days or a week in December,
and the members of a little informal club of

UBRARY WORK, 1916

children's librarians within fifteen miles often
come to see the exhibition before ordering
their own new books. The exhibit makes
leading and guiding suggestions of the most
practical and useful order, including a special
exhibit of suggested — not required — reading
for every one of the four school years ; recent
editions of Shakespeare's plays with colored
plates, published separately, and suggestive of
the tercentenary commemoration of April 23,
1 916; and the Everyman editions of general
literature. The father and mother of school
children, who have small incomes, and the
country minister and his wife, college bred
and lovers of the best, who have five dollars
or less to spend for Christmas books, are
borne in mind. The exhibit is open from
nine till six on week-days, and from two
till six on Sunday afternoons, when fathers
sometimes like to browse among the books.
Miss Hewins gives as much time and personal
supervision as is possible, and is always
ready to suggest names of books or give
opinions on their value. Besides lists for
reference, there are special lists for free dis-
tribution and also the "Pratt" and '"Wilson"
lists for sale.

— Selection of

Standards in children's literature. EfHe L.
Power. New Jersey Lib. Built J^., 1916.
p. 10-15.

Never before has so much thought and
effort been lavished on children's books, and
the book problem to-day is one of selection.
For convenience in discussing standards, Miss
Power divides child life into three periods:
the period of early childhood, or the first
seven years; the later period of childhood,
between eight and twelve; and the adolescent
period, between twelve and sixteen. The
literature of early childhood consists of nur-
sery songs, rhymes, story poems and folk-tales
which appeal primarily to the ear. Next
come the cumulative nonsense tales. Folk-
tales, with their direct, impersonal style, are
told chiefly to amuse, but they do also en-
rich and direct the imagination, « train the
attention, increase the child's use of words,
and give inspiration to the process of learning
to read.

As soon as the imagination is sufficiently
developed for the child to picture situations,
the realistic story, descriptive poem and heroic
folk-tale take their places among his books.
Most modern nature books fail at this point,
but Kipling's jungle books are splendid ex-
amples of an imaginative treatment of nature
interests. Even young children like a scien«
tific treatment when looking for facts. Their
reference books should be concise, not too
technical, well arranged, well indexed, and
pictorially illustrated. Most of the modem

books available for use with little children
are lacking in literary quality, but they may
teach manners and customs and suggest ideas
of conduct The longer folk-tales bring out
the cardinal virtues of childhood, and when
properly selected establish moral sense and
tend toward a constructive philosophy of life.
They introduce a heroic ideal which is later
developed in myth, saga, legend, and biog-
raphy. As a boy grows older his life becomes
active and objective, and he immediately imi-
tates his heroes. If you can choose a bo/s
heroes at this age, you have given his life
its trend, since his instinct toward hero wor-
ship is the strongest factor in his development
As he passes into the adolescent period the
social feeling moves him. This is the age
when the gang spirit develops, and along with
an excess of animal spirits comes a rapid
awakening of his spiritual nature. He is more
than ever a hero worshipper, but he wants the
facts of wide experience. Stories of adven-
ture at sea, books of travel, histqrical adven-
tures, biography and travel become popular.

The girl reads fairy tales far into the years
of later childhood. She develops emotionally
more rapidly than the boy and may be more
easily led to poetry and the higher forms of
great world literature. She is more personal
in her attitude toward life in books and out
of books, and needs a sympathetic leader. She
is also much more limited in her range of
interests than the boy. The best love stories
for girls from twelve to sixteen are the stories
'f romantic adventure. Well-selected adult
fiction may be given her, but beware of the
modern girl's novel, in which a self-conscious
girl heroine occupies the center of the stage.
We need never be afraid of great works of
fiction. They present life broadly, but in right
perspective.

CHILDREN'S READING

When the new library building was opened
for circulation in Swanton, Vt., small note-
books with pencils were given to all children
who registered, so that they might readily
keep a list of all books read during 1916.

What children read in the library. Emma
R. Engle. Pa, Lib, Notes, O., 1915. p. 175-
182.

Miss Engle, who is chief of the children's
department of the Philadelphia Free Public
Library, opens her paper (read at the state
meeting at Butler in October, 191 5) with an
enumeration of the five points to be borne in
mind in considering this question:

1st The class from which the readers arc
drawn, their racial traits and preferences.

2d. The age at which children have been
admitted to the library, to show period of
influence.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

3d. The amount and quality of school co-
operation.

4th. The inspirational influence of the
librarian.

5th. And most important of oH—lVhat
children can actually get to read in the library,

"A great majority of the books actually
taken out for home reading represent volun-
tary, independent and conscious choice on the
part of the readers. The second largest per-
centage in the circulation is found in the
books in which their interest has been aroused,
and their reading encouraged by the library
practice of the story hour, poetry readings,
organized clubs, posted lists, etc The third
and smallest class is the reading imposed by
classroom work and the required reading in
the schools. The cheering and really enlight-
ening point is — the best still holds its own.
If you will name twenty-five books of recog-
nized worth that have come to be known as
children's classics, we will point to them as
the most read books on the fiction shelves, the
books that are most duplicated year by year,
and best known to the mass of children.
While books by Alcott, Kipling, George Mac-
Donald, Defoe, Stevenson, Richards, Dodge
and Clemens are still being read by the thou-
sands, why morbidly turn the spotlight on
Barbour and Nina Rhoades, when some of us
will live long enough to see them tenderly
pushed into Styxlike oblivion with the obsolete
Oliver Optic and the tearful Elsie.

*'As soon as the child reads understandingly,
he finds his natural heritage in the fairy tale,
wonder story and m3rth. . . . The boy's
persistent demand for information relating
to his amateur mechanics and ingenious de-
vices is responsible for another wide and
popular class of books which are read free-
ly. .. . It is my belief that at present it is
the exceptional and not the average child who
is conscious of any love of nature. Books
about birds, plants, trees, flowers, insects and
minerals, being chiefly informational, are con-
sulted only as the occasion demands. So the
optimistic children's librarian sees her most
artistic posters failing. ... It is noticed that
the children in the library like to handle freely
the complete editions of most of the well-
known poets, as well as the best collections,
and I think it is the common experience to find
that the favorite volumes are those made up
of patriotic songs and poems of action. . . .
The natural inclinations of the reading child
take him more frequently to the history shelf
than to any other section where he finds books
relating to classroom topics. Even the class-
room histories of the United States are read
again and again, and if the library has in-
vested liberally in those well-known historic
readers and selected biographical tales, where

the human quality is emphasized and the dra-
matic element is well handled, the number of
volumes circulated here should, at least, evenly
balance the fairy talcs and folklore circula-
tion. Especially among the children of for-
eign parentage, there is a constant leaning
towards lives of great Americans; lives of
Washington, Franklin, Boone and Lincoln are
read and re-read."

Making worth while boys' recreational read-
ing. Franklin K. Mathiews. Pub. Libs., Jl.,
1916. p. 300-303.

The boy in his early teens is likely to read
more books than at any other time, frequently
as many as three or four books a week. What
is true of boys is also true of girls, and they
have a similar interest in the story of adven-
ture. The unusual physical growth and the
differentiation of sex during the early 'teen
age explains in part both boys' and girls'
interest in the story of action; this type of
story serves as a prophylactic for the adoles-
cent, and careful consideration should be
given that as far as possible boys and girls
be guided and directed in their choice of
books. These experiences of the body give a
physical basis for the rise and growth of the
imagination, making necessary proper exer-
cise for its wholesome development. The test
of the worthwhileness of these adventure
stories is not whether they teach morality,
but as to whether they provide a kind of
mental gymnastic paraphernalia for the exer-
cise of the boy's imagination and emotional
nature.

The practical value of imagination is great
for chief among the qualities that distinguish
successful men are initiative and resourceful-
ness, and these can come only from creative
and constructive imagination. "Is it too
much to conclude, then, that when boys read
stories of adventure of the right kind, these
books will stimulate such initiative, awaken
such resourcefulness as will aid the boy to
change capacity into capability and so voca-
tionally h^lp him to find himself?"

Boys are increasingly interested in the
"What and How to do" books, that is, books
on handicraft, machinery, and applied elec-
tricity; the aroused imagination seeks to ex-
press itself. Popular Mechanics and Popular
Electricity are the greatest competitors of
nickel thrillers. "Only recently we have
learned how to mend morals by making
muscles. In reform schools, manual training
is working many miracles in the transforma-
tion of boys' characters. And we are latteily
learning that what has such merit for the bad
boy is of equal worth for the good one. . . He,
too, may learn thru his 'hobbies' the power
of application, neatness, initiative, resource-

LIBRARY WORK, 1916

fulness, carefulness, honesty and many more
of the elemental moral qualities."

With his insatiable appetite for stories the
boy develops a hunger for facts; his mind
needs fact as well as fiction. Facts must,
however, be presented in as fascinating and
vivid style as fiction so that they will delight
the boy. Even in his fiction care should be
taken that the boy gets only such adventure
tales as represent facts in the form of fiction.

The boy's recreational reading should con-
tain these three chief interests. **0n the one
hand, the stories awaken and develop his
imagination and on the other, the *What and
How to do' books makes possible a wholesome
and practical expression, while the books of
fact and information serve to modify imagina-
tion by always reminding a boy that he is
living in a world not of fiction, but of hard
and stubborn reality."

CIRCULAR LETTERS

Here is a letter that Miss Roberts, librarian
in Pottsville, Pa., has had inserted in the pay
envelopes of the employes of the silk mill in
that town:

To the Employes of ike Silk Mill:

Have you ever used the Pottsville Free Public Li-
brary? There are all sorts of books there for you.
Good stories to read when you are tired, interesting
true stories about other people, descriptions of your
country and other countries; then there are fclooks
about different trades and occupations if you want
to fit yourself for a better job. It's the man (and
woman) who knows who gets ahead these days, and
the books have been written by people who know.
Listen to what they say, and then you will know.

All who live in Pottsville ma^ have the free use
of the library, and those who live out of town but
work in Pottsville may also have the books. Try the
library some day, and see if you don't find just
the books to make you glad.

Very sincerely yours.

Flora B. Roberts,

Librarian.

CIRCULATING LIBRARIES, Commercial

The commercial library: its organization,
administration, and service. John C. Willmer.
Lib. Assn. Rec, Mr., 1916. p. 98-108.

From scanty material available, Mr. Will-
mer gives some practical information on past
commercial libraries, leading up to the present-
day commercial circulating library. The first
circulating library in London of which he can
learn was established in 1740 by Messrs. Caw-
thorn and Hutt at 132 Strand, and called the
"British Library." Later it was removed to
24 Cockspur street. Charing Cross, where it
remained until the end of the year 1913, being
then purchased by Day's Library, Ltd., and
merged in their library business.

Altho this was the beginning of circulat-
ing libraries with a formulated system, the
lending of books for hire was of much greater
antiquity. The times appear to have been ripe
for circulating libraries, because soon after
the establishment of the "British Librar/' in
1740, one is mentioned as being kept by Robert
Watts at Cambridge in 1745, another at
Birmingham by William Hutton in 1751, and
another at Liverpool in 1756, the latter still
in existence. Up to the end of 1913, Day's
Library, Ltd., established in 1776, was the
second oldest circulating library in London,
and having acquired Cawthorn and Hutt's
Library, it has now taken the first place as
the oldest in London. It was removed in
1890 to its present home, a building especially
constructed for the requirements of a library.

Owing to limitations of space, passing men-
tion only is made of other commercial libra-
ries, Hookham's, Mitchell's, Grosvenor Gal-
lery Library, Times* Book Club, Harrod's,
Mudie's, and Smith and Son. Mr. Willmer
gives interesting extracts from the courteously
worded announcements of the old established
firms, concerning changes of address, terms
of subscription, methods of business, and the
varied advantages of their respective institu-
tions to subscribers and non-subscribers. "The
functions of a library," from a recent issue
of the Saturday Review, is also drawn upon,
and some amusing illustrations of the miscon-
ceptions that many applicants for vacancies
in libraries seem to have with reference to
general library work close a paper contain-
ing much valuable information.

The July number of the Bodleian Quarterly
Record contains the first instalment of an
article on "Bodleian press-marks in relation
to classification/' During the three hundred
years of the Bodleian Librar/s history many
methods of classification and shelf-notation
have been in use for periods of varying
length. As each in turn was limited to cur-
rent accessions, leaving earlier systems un-
changed, the library offers an unusual field
for the study of classification methods. The
classification of manuscripts, and of classes of
literature, which were for many years omitted
from the schemes of classification, and of
special collections will be dismissed with brief
notice. Up to within a few years the books
have always been separated according to size,
but aside from that common feature, the his-
tory of Bodleian classification can be roughly
divided into three periods. The first (1602-
1789) is called that of "classification by facul-
ties"; the second (a, 1789-1823; h, 1824-60),
when subject division was entirely ignored,
that of "numerical sequence"; the third {a,
1861-83; h, 1883 to the present), that of "de-
tailed subject classification by numbers," which
began with a small division of subjects, was
expanded a few years later, and increased
almost a thousandfold in 1883. The first two
periods 'form the theme of the first paper.

The theory of reference work. W. W.
Bishop, Bull, of the A. L. A., Jl., 1915 (Pro-
ceedings of the Berkeley conference), p. 134-
139. Also reprinted as separate pamphlet.

Reference work, as understood in this paper,
is any service rendered by a librarian in aid
of research, but it is not research itself. The
reference librarian is an interpreter of the
library to the public; he reveals not what he
himself has created, but all that has been
gathered, listed, arranged, and shelved for the
reader's benefit.

The term "reference books" has changed
in meaning. The former connotation was
restricted to books of encyclopaedic charac-
ter; it now extends to all books which are
placed at the convenience of reference workers
and readers in reading rooms. The term
"reference libraries" is used to designate
libraries which primarily aid in specialized,
advanced research.
Beside assigning a suitable person to the

io6

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

reference desk there must be assurance of
continuity of work. Reference work demands
a policy on the part of the librarian and a
definite plan of the means to be employed in
following it. As it is impossible for any
one person to have special knowledge on the
wide variety of subjects dealt with in refer-
ence work, the reference librarian acts as a
guide not only to the book^, but also to the
library's resources in personnel. The policy
will differ according to the nature and extent
of the library. There are three sorts of de-
mands in ordinary reference work:

1. Inquiry for historico-literary information.

2. Inquiry about present-day conditions in
social and economic fields.

3. Inquiry in special fields of knowledge.
Altho the librarian should not absorb

all inquiries, he should sift inquiries, so
as to recognize those which are answer-
able by encyclopaedias, which by special
books, and those which should be referred to
a specialist in the subject To accomplish
this sifting tact, memory, knowledge of the
resources at hand, and experience are the
greatest assets of a librarian.

Included within the theory of reference
work are the tools of the librarian. His
emergency tools are dictionaries, indexes,
compends of statistics, recent bibliographies,
directories, etc. His next line of help is the
general catalog of the library which should
therefore be conveniently placed. Last come the
reference books of the reference room, open to
readers, but peculiarly the tools of the librarian.

We are but beginning to see the possibilities
of useful service rendered the community by
reference libraries. The passive attitude, po-
litely responsive to demands, but creating
none, should be abandoned ; the non-recreative
side of library work should be exploited and
stores of books should be gathered against
a future need. The keynote of reference
work possibilities is specialization — acquisi-
tion in special fields, development of special
clientele, and specialized service.

The theory of work of the general "refer-
ence librarian" is "service, quiet, self-effacing,
but not passive or unheeding. To make books
useful, and more used — this is his aim. This
aim and this theory are alike honored in any
gathering of librarians."

RESERVED BOOKS

In connection with the reserved book sys-
tem in the University of Chicago Library,
it was customary to display a large number
of books (nearly 8000 volumes in certain
quarters) on open shelves. The losses durmg
1914-15, however, were so extensive that it
was found necessary to withdraw the open
access privilege for the great bulk of these
books. In order to reduce somewhat the use
of the reserved books, the experiment has
been tried of purchasing sets of books repre-
senting all the required reading in certain
courses, particularly in English literature, and
renting these sets for a fee of $3.00 a quarter.
This experiment has proved very successful
and is being extended as rapidly as funds will
permit to other subjects and other courses.

The author argues that the time has come
when somebody ought to weed out the pub-
lications on agriculture, and separate the
really valuable, of which there is a vast deal,
from the utterly valueless popular book com-
piled only to sell. The latter class supports
the contention of the non-reading farmer

that book farming is valueless. The article
refers in a general sort of way to some of
the methods in getting books to the farmers,
such as the county library, the traveling li-
brary, etc.

Progress versus difficulties. Mary Morison.
Bull, of N. H. Pub. Libs,, D., 191 5. • p. 136-138.

The small country libraries in a rural state
like New Hampshire often find a location con-
venient to all the people difficult to secure.
The books must often be in a spare room off
the town hall or in some private house where
the housekeeper is willing to look after them,
and the hours are frequently not more than
two or three a week. The question of income
is serious. In the small towns the librarian's
service is often voluntary; in others she is
given $5 to $10, to pay her, as is often said,
"for sweeping out the dirt people bring in.*'

The libraries whose income is from $15 to
$100 should spend practically all on books.
The summer visitors who bestow on the li-
brary a lot of cheap novels are a serious men-
ace. The people need more help and education
than they can get without outside help, and
have as good a right to it in their libraries as
in any other part of the educational system.
The state school inspector is paid a good sal-
ary, but the library commission appointed by
the state has no money and can only help the
smaller libraries by advice. Gifts of books and
traveling libraries and traveling picture col-
lections all help, but the thing that is really
needed is a centralized plan of library work
so that the little libraries may appeal to the
authorities at the state capital and be shown
how to get what they want either from the
State Library or from some neighboring larger
library.

Qover-land libraries are doing a splen-

Magasine, April, 1916.

This is an illustrated article on the pub-
lic libraries of the Upper Peninsula of Mich-
igan, as follows: Marquette, Houghton,

Stambaugh Township, Ishpeming, Painesdale,
Iron wood, Crystal Falls, Hancock, and the
Northern State Normal School Library, of
20,000 volumes, at Marquette.

Some of the libraries of this part of the
state have an unusually large per capita cir-
culation. The Public Library at Houghton
gives Sunday lectures during the winter. The
Library at Painesdale distributed in the
spring of 1915 6000 penny packages of
flower and vegetable seeds to children, and
at Christmas through the efforts of friends
of the library each child got a bag of candy.
It would be interesting to see what would
happen if one of the East Side branch li-
braries in New York were to announce on a
given day the distribution of a bag of candy
for each child.

Positive side of library extension in New
York State. N, Y. Libs., My., 1916. p. 75-77.

Editorial. The April issue of New York
Libraries gives an exposition of the positive
side of library development in New York in
the last twenty years, and cites statistics to
show the rapid increase in the number of free
libraries during this period. 'Tor each 1000
persons in the state the average annual issue
of books from free libraries increased in
twenty years from 437 volumes to 2853 vol-
umes, the use of the free library books thus
increasing six and one-half times faster than
the population. . . . The progress indicated
by these figures is indeed real, but they tell
little or nothing as to actual library condi-
tions obtaining in numerous sections of the
state." In many of these sections there has
been an actual decrease which is but empha-
sized by the increase in the aggregate. "The
average wealth in free library books of the
population of this state is now 1000 volumes
for every 2000 persons, the average annual
issue of books is 5700 for each such group,
but this does not prevent a condition of actual
and utter poverty in respect to books in the
case of large sections of the population in-
cluded in these averages. Every new library
established, every enrichment of libraries al-
ready existing, raises the average. It only
emphasizes and makes more acute the need
of sections unaffected by this average.

"Thus we can never show by any gross
figures, however large, or by any averages,
however high, that the library development
of the state has attained a proper or satis-
factory end. . . . In spite of all that the state
has done and stood ready to do for the last
twenty-three years, there is still a population
of about 1,400,000 in New York State quite
untouched by this modern library movement,
save as it has been benefited by the school
libraries.'' Here the editor gives some com-
parative statistics showing the relative library

io8

AMERICAN UBRARY ANNUAL

conditions in New York and in several other
states. The problem in New York is similar
to what it would be for a new library com-
mission in such a state as Kansas if there
were not as yet a single free library within
its borders.

Fifteen per cent, or 1,400,000 of the people
of New York are still to be provided for.
Many of these people are grouped in commu-
nities so that with them the library difficulty,
while partly physical and numerical, is chiefly
a matter of proper initiative and spirit on
the part of the communities. There remain
1,000,000 living in scattered homes or in tiny
hamlets. Traveling libraries, district school
libraries, and rural branches and stations of
nearby city and village libraries, are all do-
ing something to help these people, but the
most effective plan for meeting the prob-
lem will probably be the establishment of a
system of county libraries whereby the county
will bear the expenses, and each family in
the county will have free and convenient use
of books.

The library and a changing Iowa. L. L.
Dickerson. la. Lib. Quarterly, O.-D., 1915.
p. 177-186.

This article was an address delivered at the
Colfax meeting of the Iowa Library Associa-
tion considering the farmers' reading as an
approach to the subject of rural extension of
library work.

As regards the distribution of reading mat-
ter to municipal residents, the library move-
ment in this country has passed through the
first stage of its development, that of educa-
tion and agitation. But the state has not yet
accepted responsibility for the reading matter
of rural residents who comprise 49 per cent,
of the population, whose interests are closely
allied to those of urbanities, and who are most
truly representative of the state. Although
in compliance to preliminary legislation six-
teen libraries in Iowa are serving their neigh-
boring farm folk, the field still to be covered
is extensive and its peculiar conditions are
not universally understood.

There is throughout the country a spirit
of unrest due partly to the farmer's belief
that he is not j^etting a just return for his
labor and also to dissatisfaction with living
conditions. Living conditions for the farmer
are different from those, for any other class
and adjustments of them must be the out-
growth of mass thinking. In preparing the
way for adjustments the printed page holds
great potentiality. That adjustments have not
already come is due to several conditions pecu-
liar to the farmer, conditions which could not
exist if reading were general in the country.

Primarily the farmer is an isolated unit,
little touched by the social forces which have

recently entered into politics, religion, and
society generally. This isolation develops a
type of mind distinct from that of the urban-
ite ; the farmer may be neighborly, kindly, but
he is an individualist. He stands as a separate
unit at a time when the basic characteristic
of capital and labor is collective thinking and
bargaining.

That the farmer is not intellectually in touch
with the significant facts of the day is judged
from rural surveys, although they are inade-
quate and incomplete. [Here are given statis-
tics and numerous details from three surveys
completed recently for the University of Iowa,
and a summing up of conditions.]

"We have then a situation something like
this: In the two townships from which the
information is fairly complete, and in which
the combined population is 14151 an average
of 26.5 per cent, are without books and 28.3
per cent, are without standard magazines.
No other library facilities are available. These
people are not borrowing from the state travel-
ing library or from university extension
sources. We may assume, however, that the
reading of the designated number of books
is not strictly limited to the homes in which
they are found, since farmers are good lenders
and this is especially true of books and story
magazines."

A fact standing out prominently in these sur-
veys is the general circulation of newspapers
and farm journals. Of these the greatest
readers are farm women; the farmer does
not read, not so much because he has little
time for reading, but because he has learned
how to read, but never to read.

One of the most important considerations
in the matter of rural reading is the subject
of reading for the country boys and girls.
Where the boy is to get his selected and grade
books, and where the girl is to get her fairy
tales, poetry, and literary heroines are vital
questions. The leaders in rural life will be as
greatly influenced by their reading as those in
any other station.

The public library is accepted as a national
institution for the municipality; it should be
established for the other 49 per cent, to whom
it would mean immeasurably more. To the
farmer wisely selected books would be not
only additional luxuries or advantages, but to
a considerable degree the only contact with
an outside world. The social movement of
the last decade has found one of its greatest
advertising means the library and literature
distributed by the library and it is this type
of reading which least has reached the rural
community.

By entering the work which daily news-
papers and weeklies have already begun the
library may share in the inevitable changes
now making the new agricultural life of Iowa.

Library growth in villages and rural dis-
tricts. N. Y. Libs., F., 1916. p. 43-46.

Editorial. The rural libraries are far from
an equality with city libraries in book privi-
leges. With over 25 per cent, of the; popula-
tion they have but 12 per cent, of the library
circulation and 10 per cent, of the total library
income. But considering the growth of cities
in many respects and the stationary condition
of country wealth and population, the recent
growth of rural libraries is perhaps more
significant than that for the cities. "Libraries
of the state outside cities have to-day from
four to eight times more of resources than
twenty years ago, and in the last ten years
have gained more in material equipment, in
public support and circulation than in the
whole previous history of the state.*' The
growth may be attributed to the following
forces :

1. The simple logic of the library movement
which is the same for all public utilities.

2. Advance in schools and educational
methods, which has given an added stimulus
toward the application of this logic.

3. Women's awakened sense of social re-
sponsibility.

4. Marked development in public spirit

5. Benefit received by rural libraries from
national, state, and local library associations.

6. The development of modern library
science as represented and advanced by li-
brary schools.

7. Gifts to village libraries from wealthy
persons in cities.

8. The direct and organized effort of the
state, represented in the library law of 1892,
to encourage, aid and direct in the establish-
ment of local libraries, as it had long been
doing for free schools.

"The object of the state, in its legislation
and activities in this field, has been, of course,
purely educational and moral, the enrichment
of life through the diffusion of good litera-
ture." Over 3,000,000 approved books were
distributed in rural homes during 1915 at a
cost of less than one cent of state money
for each volume. "But in addition to this
direct educational service, these libraries have
brought out of private possession into free
public service, property in the form of build-
ings, sites and endowments, amounting to
$3,678,695. These libraries, many if not
most of which have been brought into being
thru the stimulus thus provided, have en-
riched the public with property eight times
greater than all that the state has contributed."

In a most interesting report for the commit-
tee on libraries of the Woman's Educational
Association, Miss Mary Morison, the chair-
man, makes some interesting notes on the

books which will and will not circulate in
the small towns to which the association sends
its libraries.

"A city librarian, laying down the law for
purchase of books said of course in the
country he should purchase books on agricul-
ture," she writes. "He was promptly told
by the country librarians present that it was
a needless expense, as they would not read
them. This can be borne out by our statis-
tics, when 'Farm accounting,' 'Rural Denmark,'
'Home waterworks,' 'Beginnings in agricul-
ture,' 'Principle of rural economics,' 'Construc-
tion of dwelling houses,' and 'Common sense
of the milk question,' come back unread. The
'History of the telephone' was provided with
a note saying that it was 'As thrilling as any
romance,' but no one was to be taken in by
that honeyed phrase. The 'Life of Samuel
Barrows,' 'Autobiography of Admiral Dewey,'
'Beginnings in electricity,' 'Panama gateway,'
McClure's 'Autobiography,' Ribban/s 'Far
journey,' Stewart's 'Letters of a woman home-
steader,' met with a similar fate. We
promptly provided the best books on the war,
but they were hardly touched, and one libra-
rian begged that no more be sent Favorite
books are Eleanor Porter's 'Miss Billy,' Bertha
Runkle's 'Scarlet rider,' Oppenheim's liaYOC,'
Rex Beach's 'Ne'er-do-well,' Curtis's 'Woman
from Wolverton,' and Webster's 'Daddy-long-
legs.' Altsheler, Holman Day, and McCutch-
eon are names to conjure with. The children
are much the same. Five books of the handi-
craft style, written for boys, had a circula-
tion of two between them, and even 'Bob
Knight's diary on a farm' was passed over,
as probably savoring too much of the buck
saw and the hoe."

The association, whose headquarters are in
Boston, has for circulation 80 regular libra-
ries, 26 special, and four Audubon libraries,
a total of no, which made 154 visits in 122
towns and villages in Massachusetts during

191S.

The libraries for foreigners now number 12.
There are four Polish, two Italian, three
French, one German and two Swedish, most
of which were given by the Society of
Colonial Dames, the Circolo Italiano and
the Bostoner Deutsche Gesellschaft One of
the Swedish libraries mentioned was given by
the Colonial Dames, who are ready to pro-
vide a Lithuanian one next Twenty-nine sets
of pictures have made 136 visits to 113 towns
and villages.

SAFETY AND SANITATION LIBRARY

The library organized by the committee on
safety and sanitation of the Milwaukee Mer-
chants and Manufacturers' Associations, men-
tioned in the October issue of the Libraky
JOURNAL, is now well along towards comple-

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

tion. Under the caption "A library for the
manufacturer/' the library is briefly described
in the October Cizncs and Commerce, pub-
lished monthly by the association. The article
says: "Hundreds of books, pamphlets, photo-
graphs and drawings have been gathered
from the manufacturers who have made their
plants safe and healthy. State and Federal
reports have also been secured. This mass
of information has been carefully classified
and indexed and is now available.

**If the superintendent of some Milwaukee
factory desires to publish a little monthly mag-
azine for his workmen, he can find in the
Safety and Sanitation Library material on all
phases of the subject of safety and sanita-
tion. From them may be secured suggestions
regarding features which have proven most
successful in such publications. If he desires
to organize an efficient first aid department,
or to know the experience of other companies
regarding physical examination of employes,
or if he is interested in employes' sick
benefit associations, or any one of a hundred
other subjects pertaining to safety, health and
efficiency in shops, he can secure from the
library the latest and best experience. In
brief, this is a library of experience. Every
member of the association with his superin-
tendents and foremen is urged to make use
of this valuable collection of information.
Reference to it will save the cost of experi-
menting and supply the latest and most ap-
proved methods in connection with safety
work.

''Among the activities of the committee is
the conducting of the safety round table dur-
ing the coming winter. The library will prove
a most valuable adjunct to this phase of the
committee's work. From the file's exhibits
of guards, posters for bulletin boards, safety
rule books, etc., may be secured the material
to assist in the round table discussions. The
committee on safety and sanitation has the
honor of organizing the first safety round
table in the United States, and now it claims
an added distinction thru its establishment of
its safety and sanitation library, the first of
its kind to be organized under the auspices
of a commercial organization."

"SAFETY FIRST" LITBRATURB

"Safety first" literature for libraries. Ann
D. White. Pub. Libs., My., 1916. p. 211-213.

A few years ago those most interested in
accident prevention work organized the Na-
tional Safety Council, whose object is to pro-
mote the conservation of human life. A central
Bureau of Information was established, and
from this service there developed the safety
library which is accumulating a variety of
data relating to the entire field of accident
prevention, such as blue prints ■ and photo-

graphs of typical safeguards ; literature on the
organization of safety campaigns; educational
lantern slides and moving pictures; lists of
safety inspectors, lecturers or consulting
safety engineers.

In addition to the work of the library, the
Council distributes bulletins which are for the
most part based on actual experiences.
Poster exhibits are made by mounting the
bulletins on large green cards, about six bul-
letins on a card, grouped according to subject
Another method of promoting the safety idea
is thru the safety congresses which are held
annually under the auspices of the National
Safety Council. The proceedings of the 1915
congress contains over 700 pages of the latest
opinions and advice of the safety experts of
the country. The council, in order to form
safety habits in the children, has directed the
preparation of a safety primer, "Sure Pop and
the Safety Scouts," which is intended to be
used as a supplementary reader in the public
schools.

The National Safety Council is a non-profit-
making, co-operative organization open to any
individual or organization interested in pro-
moting the cause of safety, and supported
entirely by the dues of its members. In re-
ttirn for the dues, each member is entitled
to the service of the Information Bureau and
library, and to receive all the publications of
the Council— ao8 bulletins, the annual pro-
ceedings, and miscellaneous pamphlet material.

To reach all "chance takers" can be accom-
plished only by an educational campaign, and
the librarian, with his instinct for service,
could perform a real benefit for his commu-
nity by entering into this movement for the
conservation of human life. Information re-
garding this work may be obtained from
W. H. Cameron, secretary, National Safety
Building, Chicago.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The annual reports of the inspection of state
graded schools and of state high stjhools, in
Minnesota, contain in each case a report by
Miss Martha Wilson, supervisor of school
libraries, on the library conditions existing in
each class of schools. In each she gives a

UBRARY WORK, 1916

III

tabular list of the schools showing the num-
bei of books at the beginning of the year,
additions, and total, and the expenditure for
bo«ks, magazines, and totaL These numbers
are not wholly accurate in many cases, as all
accession books are not carefully kept, but
thej give at least an approximate idea of the
school library resources.

The list of high school libraries includes aog
names. Forty-five have a library room on the
first floor, 130 on the second, 5 house the li-
brary in the superintendent's office; 15 use
hall, assembly or classrooms; and 6 have no
general library room, scattering the books
throughout the rooms. Rooms vary greatly in
size, only 26 reporting rooms as large as or
larger than classrooms. Open shelves are used
in 88 schools, and 140 provide reading tables.

The Dewey classification is used in 125 li-
braries, 28 report original systems, and 46 are
unclassified. One hundred and sixty-seven re-
port accession books, iii have card charging
systems, and 60 use book records. Few schools
have adequate card catalogs.

Library service is rendered by teachers in
113 schools, by superintendent or high school
principal in 18, by normal training department
in 4, students in 13, superintendent's clerk in
9, and school librarians in 25. Of the latter,
10 give full time to the school library. Six-
teen schools depend upon the public libtary
for all but classroom reference books, and
Redwood Falb, Sauk Center and Virginia
have made definite contracts with the public
library for service. Eighty-two schools at-
tempt to give some public library service, and
Ada, New Uhn and Osakis house the books
belonging to the public library association.
South High School, Minneapolis, maintains
a deposit station of the Public Library, and
Hastings and St. Louis Park have combination
school and public libraries, jointly supported
by the town and the school with good library
rooms and librarians.

Compensation for library service, exclusive
of teachers' work, is reported by 31 schools.
Professional training for school library work
is reported by 13 persons in charge of school
libraries who have taken summer school li-
brary courses, 12 who have attended lectures
in normal or other schools, and 7 who have
served as public library apprentices or as-
sistants.

Opportunity in Minnesota for training for
school library work is offered by the summer
school course given at the university under the
direction of the Minnesota Library Commis-
sion and the Department of Education, and
the course to be given at the College of Edu-
cation, University of Minnesota, beginning
September, 1915.
The orders for library books filed in the

ofiice of the state superintendent show that
the state school library lists, books for ele-
mentary and rural schools and books for high
schools, have been more closely followed than
formerly, thus insuring for the schools stand-
ard books thoroughly usable with boys and
girls of school age.

Teacher training department libraries are a
feature of school library work in Minnesota.
They are usually maintained as separate col-
lections housed in the training department
rooms and used exclusively by the normal
cadets. Many of them include good collec-
tions of standard children's books.

Analysis of the report on grade school li-
braries shows that they exist in some form in
243 schools. Few of them, however, contain
a thousand volumes, the average seeming
nearer 500. Thirty-six report a library room
on the first floor, 149 on the second, 3 on the
third, II in hall or classroom, 2 in the prin-
cipal's office, and one in a cloakroom. Six
schools scatter the books among the different
rooms. Open shelving is used in 94 school
libraries and 50 have reading tables. Eighty-
two use the Dewey decimal system or a modi-
fication of it, while 18 have original systems.
One hundred and sixty-eight report accession
books, 48 use card charging systems, and 142,
book records.

Library service is rendered by teachers in
107 schools, by principals in 31, students in
\i, and two schools have librarians on full
time. The services rendered by teachers ap-
pears to be in addition to full time teaching
work. The high school board rules now re-
quire that teachers in charge of school libra-
ries may not teach more than six hours.

Nashwauk and Keewatin maintain public li-
braries in the school house. The library rooms
are well planned with separate out-door en-
trances and heating arrangements, and can be
entirely closed off from the rest of the build-
ing in the evenings. They are well equipped,
have good collections of books and are admin-
istered by trained librarians. In each town,
the village contributes $500 annually for books,
and all the other expenses are borne by the
school. Mountain Iron will combine its col-
lection of books with the new public library
recently opened. Several schools report some
service from public libraries in nearby towns.

Notable characteristics of school libraries in
Chicago. Irene Warren. Wis. Lib. Bull.,
N., 1915. p. 307-310.

"The schools of Chicago are in splendid
condition in many ways but they have no ade-
quate libraries. . . . There are a number of
teachers in the Chicago high schools who have
been assigned to library duty, so called, in

112

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

their respective schools. . . . Naturally the
teacher-librarians soon found that they did
not know how to cope with the library prob-
lems and after many shifts and experiments,
they drew up a petition which they presented
to Mrs. Young, the superintendent of schools,
this year (1915), asking that librarians be
appointed in every high school and pointing
out that it was not economy to hire an expert
teacher for two thousand dollars, and then
ask her to give one half of her time, to teach-
ing and one half of it to a subject for which
she was not qualified. . . . Hundreds of teach-
ers and pupils are being well served daily in
our great Chicago libraries and in the branches
of the Chicago Public Library. As they see
what intelligent library help means they are
becoming more and more dissatisfied with
their school libraries." It is essential, there-
fore, for the young people in training for
teaching in the high schools to be given a
course in the use of books and libraries. The
Chicago Teachers* College and the University
of Chicago give good courses in children's
literature but neither offers courses in the use
of books and libraries. The school libraries
are supplemented by the "school deposits" de-
partment of the Chicago Public Library. Over
32,000 volumes chosen by principals and teach-
ers circulated thru it in 1914. The books are
sent from the public library in wooden boxes
to the Board of Education rooms and from
these distributed to the schools. The system
is inefficient and the service inadequate for
the great demand.

Among private schools, the School of Edur
cation is doing the most extensive library
work. It has a splendid collection of books
for children, its librarian keeps in touch with
all school work, and interest is kept alive by
printed lists, exhibits, and bulletins. The
high school library and study room are com-
bined with a resulting improvement in the
study habits of the students. The room
stimulates interest in every subject the high
school offers and suggests all kinds of inter-
esting things to do, to make, and to read in
vacation and leisure time. To avoid the waste
of study periods a list of Study Helps is
posted in the front of every student's texts
and note-book, and the librarian marks the
students in "study habits." "No student sent
to the library to look up a reference can re-
turn to his teacher without the desired infor-
mation unless he also bears a slip from the
librarian saying that it was not to be found."
Class periods are checked up and students
assigned to study periods as they are as-
signed to other classes. The problem of study
habits is an important one, for few homes
offer conditions suitable to study and most
children need help in forming study habits.

"The first and most important thmg to be
done is to have the school and the library
authorities determine the library work each
one can and should do." Statistics should
be procured to show how much money the
board is spending for books per pupil and
how this expenditure compares with that for
laboratory apparatus, etc.; the degree of
efficiency in administration of the library
books should be investigated, and the com-
petency of the person acting as librarian
should be compared with that of those in
charge of other lines of school work. In
obtaining this data the librarians should take
the initiative.

Miss Warren believes that in every high
school with five or more teachers, there should
be a librarian. The training for school libra-
rians could best be given in a library school
located in or near a tmiversity with a strong
department of education and a practice school.
— Arguments for

A plea for the library in public schools,
Florence M. Hopkins. Education, S., 1916.

p. 35-41.

A survey of commercial exhibits shown at
any educational convention could scarcely fail
to impress one with the fact that America
is making a great effort to have h^r schools
excel in equipment as well as in scholarship.
Such an exhibit visualizes recent progress in
an impressive and interesting way, and is apt
to leave one wondering if there is anything
left to be developed in the field of education.
Yet no one is completely satisfied.

"Is there any one medium of education,
except the library, which touches all possible
interests? Books are needed at every step of
life, from the earliest days of picture books
to the declining days of philosophy and reflec-
tion. . . . Tho the primary work of the
public library is to serve the public, it has
shared its resources most generously with the
school. Few normal schools have given to
teachers the systematic training in children's
literature that is given to children's librarians.
The work of the story hour is a veritable
movement for the development of a taste for
the best literature and therefore for American
national life. . . . The school should do
its share in this development.

"The public libraries have been pioneers and
missionaries for the schools. They have done
great work in encouraging and in supplying
supplementary reading ; they are doing a great
work in connection with all of the schools
all of the time, but the field has grown and
is one which is growing, probably more rap-
idly than any other one field in school life,
and, like all other large modern activities,
should be divided. The modem library is a
laboratory, and like other laboratories should

LIBRARY WORK, 1916

113

have its material at hand in the school build-
ing and under the immediate direction of one
trained to handle it. If the school librarian
is in every sense a faculty member, one in
position, authority, opportunity, compensation,
with other teachers of the local system, she
^as a hold upon the situation which could
never be gained by one not so connected."

"*Go to the library and look it up' is an
easy direction for a teacher to give a class,
^it a very difficult one for individual members
of a class to follow and for the librarian to
fulfil . . . Not infrequently a class of 30 or
more will be sent to a library which contains
only one book for a required lesson on the
reference desired; many times the teacher
herself has drawn that book out. Such con-
ditions as these are discouraging to the pupil,
detrimental to the class work, and unjust to
the librarian. ...

**The place of the library in the work of
all departments is one of increasing impor-
tance. . . . Every new student should be
required to take some course in which is given
definite practical instruction in the handling
of library tools. Such a course should not
only be required, but it should constitute a
definite part of the work required for a de-
gree. . . .

"A school library would occupy much less
space in a school building than is now gener-
ally given to a gymnasium and a swimming
pool. It would cost less for equipment than
do the engines and tools and benches and
sewing machines and laundry tubs and food
supplies of the manual training and domestic
science departments; it would require much
less expenditure to maintain the teaching and
reference work in connection with it than is
now allowed for athletics and gymnastics;
and yet in face of all other recent develop-
ments the school library is given very little
consideration of a really constructive order,
by school men. It usually is either very weak
or supported in part or whole by the public
library, or dependent upon teacher and stu-
dent helpers instead of being under the direc-
tion of trained workers in its own field. It is
seriously hampered by a lack of an under-
standing of the kind of work it could and
should do for the school.

"Many of the high schools of the country
now have independent school libraries with
a librarian, and often assistants also, giving
uninterrupted time to the work. Many of
these libraries are giving systematic instruction
in the use of books, in regular classes. A
school librarian in connection with the gram-
mar grades is still quite unusual, tho the
field is as rich here as in high and normal
schools. Instruction in the use of dictionaries,
indexes to general reference guides, as well

as the development of the cultural side of
general reading thru the story hour and read-
ing circles should be begun in the grades and
carried thru the high schools under a con-
tinuous developing program, cordially sup-
ported by trained workers, adequate assistants
and sufficient equipment."

— Class Room Collections

"Since 1910, the schools of Chicago have
been supplied upon request of principals or
individual teachers with class room collections
for the use of pupils," says the Chicago
Book Bulletin for June. "These collections
comprise groups of books numbering from
fifty to sixty volumes each, adapted to the
average children of the several grades. They
are retained in the class room for one semes-
ter, and are then exchangeable for a similar
collection embracing other titles. The books
are not designed for class room use, but are
loaned for reading at home. During the past
year 755 class room boxes were sent to 152
school buildings, and there has been a long
waiting list of teachers whose requests could
not be met for lack of books. The 30,990
volumes represent a total of 15 12 titles, and
the total issues for the year were about a
quarter of a million."

The books are graded to correspond to the
grading in the schools, and the list of titles
chosen for the grades from first to eighth are
printed in this number of the Bulletin.

The efficient high school library. Emma J.
Breck. Amer, School Master, D., 191 5. p.
453-456 ; also in the Catholic Educational Rev,,
Ja., 1916. p. 45-47.

The author is head of the English depart-
ment of the University High School, Oak-
land, California, and the paper was read at the
fifth annual meeting of the National Council
of Teachers of English. Among the prin-
ciples considered are the following:

First : The book must be taken to the reader,
not the reader expected to see the book.

Second: The individual reader, once inside
the school library, must be welcomed by an
atmosphere of cheer and homelikeness.

Third: The inexperienced reader must be
helped :

a. To find what he wants

b. To want constantly more and more

c. To want ever better and better.

The author also believes that the school
library must be for the school only, open
neither to the street nor to the general public.
She believes that it is impossible for the same
collection of books and the same librarian
satisfactorily to serve both the community
and the school.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

High school libraries of California. Ella S.
Morgan- Pub. Libs., Ja., 1916. p. 8-9.

A paper which shows the rapid development
of the high school library in a state that
"comes very near leading all others in the
number of high school librarians/' It was
originally read before the Library Depart-
ment, N. E. A., at Oakland, Aug. 24, 1915.
In January of 1903 the first high school
h1}rarian in the west was appointed at the
Los Angeles High School. There were then
143 high schools owning 70,997 books. Last
year 241 high schools owned libraries with
a total of 340,000 books, not including pam-
phlets or periodicals. There were 33 libraries.
The demand for persons of special fitness for
these positions has caused library training
schools to give special attention to this branch
of endeavor. In the University of California
library course last summer lectures were given
by a high school librarian. "Instruction in
use of books and the library is now given,"
says the author of the paper, who is attached
to the Lincoln High School, Los Angeles, "in
all the schools having librarians. This, and
the regular use of the library required in
daily preparation of lessons, is giving high
school pupils knowledge which is bearing
fruit in colleges and out Academic instruc-
tion in library methods is given in 8 or to
schools. Pupils are thereby given an oppor-
tunity to learn whether or not they care to
go to a library school for training. Several
positions are now filled by young women who
first learned their aptitude for the work in
this way."

Two of the Los Angeles high schools arc
used by summer sessions and evening schools.
In the evening people of the neighborhood
are also welcomed. Several high schools in
country districts likewise offer the privileges
of the library to the towns people. About 75
high schools are receiving the benefit of
county library service in greater or lesser
degree.

This paper is followed in Public Libraries
by an outline of an 8-weeks' course in refer-
ence work given by the librarian of a small
town library to the high school pupils.

The coming high school library. Frank K.

Walter. N. Y. Libs., May, 1916. p. 78-81.

The change in high school libraries will be
not in development of new theories, but in the
actual application of principles long theoret*
ically acknowledged. They will differ from
those of to-day in their equipment, their or-
ganization, and their use.

The coming high school library will be
equipped with a view to hygienic surroundings
and to the comfort of the readers. The size
of the collection of books will vary little '

from that found in the library to-day, but
books will be more carefully selected with
definite school ends in view. As high schools
pay an increasing amount of attention to
training for definite occupations the school
library will have to provide recent and reliable
information on occupational lines.

The organization of the collection will be
carefully studied as to its greatest possible
use. Some approved plan of accession record,
loan system, systematic arrangement of books,
and finding list will be adopted. The organ-
ization will be undertaken by trained libra-
rians only, for amateur organization is neither
economical nor simple.

The ornamental feature of the library will
be less in evidence in the future and there will
be more use. In order to make the use easier,
more intensive and more extensive, a well-
tiained librarian will be an essential part of
the library. She should have preliminary pro-
fessional training as well as adequate special
training. The use of the school library should
be so directed that it teaches habits of research
and prepares the youth to use the opportunity
the public library affords. The coming high
school will realize the great importance of this
training in the intelligent aids to thought and
action which the library offers.

— Administration of

After two years of experimenting with the
jomt administration of the high school libra-
ries by the school board and the library board
in Tacoma, during which time the super-
visory relation of the Public Library had been
under the direction of the head of the central
lending department, the trustees of the Public
Library have voted to place the high school
libraries, for the coming year at least, under
the general supervision of the assistant libra-
rian, attaching them to no department of the
public library. It was originally planned to
open one of these high school libraries, at
least, to the public as a community branch,
but an unexpected cut in appropriations pre-
vented such development. The trustees now
feel that, without committing themselves on
the much-debated question of whether or not
high school libraries should be opened as com-
munity branches, this should not be done until
the high school library has reached a high
degree of perfection in what will always be
its primary field, that is, service to teachers
and pupils of the school.

—Study Help»

Some phases of library-study-room manage-
ment. Hannah Logasa. School Rev., May,
1916. p. 352-358.

A plea for the study-room in a library
rather than in a room bare of books, maga-
zines, etc. The article is a discussion of the
problem connected with the administration of

UBRARY WORK, 1916

such a room, serving both as a library and
as a study-room. The whole article centers
in the idea that in a great measure the read-
ing public of the future is in the making in
onr high schools, and that using the library
as a place for study in the schools helps to
form this taste more intelligently.

Opportunities for study in the high school
library. Irene Warren. Wilson Bull, O.,
1916. p. 139-141.

To meet the generally accepted practice now
in vogue with most educators^ of supplement-
ing each text-book used in high school sub-
jects with outside reading, high school libra-
rians and teachers have prepared lists of re-
quired readings further supplemented by lists
of advised readings. The estimated number
of titles needed for work of this sort in a
high school library varies from three to eight
thousand, exclusive of duplicates necessary.
To this should be added magazines and news-
papers, together with large quantities of "vis-
ualizing material" — pictures, maps, lantern
slides, post cards and museum specimens.

Comparatively few schools have such libra-
ries, and where they do exist the pupils often
get only glimpses of the material. The libra-
ries are often small and space for special
exhibits is inadequate; the pupils must get
written permission to go to the library, un-
less they are assigned there for one or two
periods a Week. If the required reading can-
not be done in the brief, irregular times
usually allowed, they are expected to go to
the library after school and borrow the books
for home use.

Meanwhile, the pupil is spending one or
more study periods each day in class*
rooms or assembly halls, where he has only
his text-book to study. If he is to be ex-
pected to supplement this with the material
in the library, it seems obvious that the study
and library rooms should be in closer rela-
tions. They might be in adjoining rooms, if
the library proper is too small for a study
room, or trucks with the recommended books
might be sent to the study room.

"It is, however, plainly to be seen that the
best plan is to give the pupils every study
hour in a room fitted up with the material
carefully chosen for the purpose by the joint
efforts of the special teachers and the libra-
rian. This means a combination of the study-
room and library in some such fashion as is
now in operation at the University High
School (University of Chicago).

"The librarian in charge of such a high
school library should have her technical library
work well in hand, be a special student of the
study habits of high school pupils, know in-
timately the best literature for them in all

lines and be thoroly familiar with the details
of the course of study.

"If the teachers will then systematically co-
operate with her, to lay out such material for
each subject as pupils will need for a week
or more, the supervised study hour in the
library may become more vital at times to a
pupil's progress than even a recitation period."

Good study habits mean good class-roonf
work. The study room librarian can plan for
a progression in the pupil's study habits, and
check up the amount of reading or studying
he does each day. She can also equalize the
time spent in preparation of each lesson, by
calling individual teachers' attention when nec-
essary to the fact that they are taking more
than their proportionate time. Study periods
should be as carefully planned as recitation
periods are, and some high schools have even
given a mark for study habits as they do for
various subjects.

A small slip on "How to stud/' was given
to pupils in the University High School in
Chicago, to be pasted into their note-books
and text-books. Excellent practical results
came from the use of this slip [printed in
Library journal, vol. 40, p. 450], which Miss
Warren has expanded into the following:

Suggestions for High School Students
Lesson Assi(fnments. Be ture to record accurately
the following items for each class:
(o) The lesson assignment.

(b) The teacher's suggestions for the preparation

of the lesson.

the greatest importance.

When to Study, Arrange for yourself a daily pro-
gram. Assign a definite time of the day for the
study of each subject, in the same manner in which
the school assigns recitation periods.

Making Ready for Study, Don't fritter time while
getting ready to study. La^ out pencils^ paper, pens,
mk» ruler and other materials needed for tne lesson
in hand. Sit down and begin at once. Each day
aim to get your lessons not only better, but in less
time, slowness is usually a habit.

How to Study, Keep yourself fit for study by
leading a wholesome lite. Attack your work with
cheerfulness and determination. Concentrate on it.
Read directly thru the lesson assignment once. Learn
to sweep thru a paragraph for the important points
in it. Re-read to master the details. If it is a
foreign langauge to be translated, read thru the
assignment to see how much you can understand be-
fore translating in detail with the help of a vocabu-
lary. If it is a problem, make certain the question
to be solved is understood, before attempting to solve
it. Every day prepare eadi lesson assignment Once
a week review your lesson. Once a month review the
accumulated lesson. This will clear up points not
plain at first and give you a broader grasp of a
subject than when it is studied in small portions only.
Form the habit of looking up words, phrases, places,
and people unfamiliar to you. Study alone. It
strengthens your ability to concentrate and to form
independent judgments.

External Aids to Study, Examine each new text-
book and learn the use of the devices placed in it
for your assistance — table of contents, index, appen-
dix, vocabulanr, maps, illustrations, footnotes, mar-
ginal notes. Form the habit of using these. Other
books have these same devices. Use them. Save
time by studying where you may easily consult the
best oictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, and other
special reference books, and where you may also
consult the library catalog for other good books on
a given subject.

Practical Application, Apply the facts you learn

ii6

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

in school to your daily life where possible. Discuss
them with your family and friends. Keep track of
what the newspapers and magazines say about the
subjects you are studying in school. It is now of
greater importance that you learn how to study, where
to get information that you want, and how to organize
data, than that you should master many subjects.

— ^Xntermediate School Libraries

California is recognizing the importance of
having trained library workers in its inter-
mediate schools, as well as in its schools of
higher rank. In Glendale the Third St. In-
termediate School, now a little over a year
old, has about 800 volumes. In another year
its librarian, Miss Gertrude Mallory, who is
also head of the English department, hopes
to have it completely classified and cataloged,
and a course of instruction in its use will be
given.

In Los Angeles, likewise, the intermediate
schools are putting in trained librarians. In
the Boyle Heights School is a library of 2000
volumes and 500 pamphlets (Miss Emma Lee
Lott, librarian), to which the public as well
as the pupils of the school have access. In
the Fourteenth Street School a little library
of 450 volumes has been started and the
librarian. Miss Viola Stevens, spends three
days of each week here, going the other two
days to a similar library in the Custer Avenue
Sdiool, where very live work is being done
with a very small equipment

Instruction in use of libraries

Library work and the public schools.
Charles Hughes Johnston. Pub. Libs., D.,
1915. p. 457-460.

A paper which reflects the typical attitude
toward library service of the progressive, up-
to-date public school man. Mr. Johnston is
professor of secondary education at the Uni-
versity of Illinois, and the paper was read
before the Illinois Library Association, at
Urbana, Nov. 5, 19x5. "The American high
school," says Prof. Johnston, "is perhaps our
most typical as well as our most promising
American institution to-day. Its dreams of
various curriculum extensions, of incorpora-
tion of fascinating new social features, the
new conceptions that are fermenting in the
minds of its leaders, make of the modem
high school an institution which arrests the
attention of all serious students of our civili-
zation. In painful contrast to this, from the
point of view of a librarian, we see in these
modern high school buildings, perfectly
appointed in many respects, but a motley array
of old and useless and dirty text-books, out-

of-date encyclopedias and reference works,
and an unkempt array of old black volumes of
reports of departments of agriculture, 'attic
books,' gifts often of friends who wish to
clean up their attics, and get their names in
local papers. If one attempts to vision the
whole 'reading horizon' of high school pupils,
one is struck with the meagerness of the en-
tire field. From an analysis of unit costs for
different items of construction of a typical
high school," Prof. Johnston adds, "one would
judge that the making of a user of books was
not one of its purposes." Some of the factors
figuring in the growing modern emphasis
upon a better high school library service are
enumerated, and the suggestion is made that
as "the ordinary expanding high school cannot
afford, of course, to add an expert wherever
a new need develops, a natural and gradual
solution will be to combine in one person
several functions, as the supervised study
director, the teacher, the vocational guider,
and also the high-school librarian, and this
would appear to be an opportunity for the
person with some library training."

Several plausible and partial solutions of
the problems involved in extending and vital-
izing expert library service in high schools
are offered for consideration, prominent
among which are: the official working out by
the association of a conception of the
minimum instructional equipment and other
sorts of library support which in its opinion
any public high school should enjoy; sug-
gested courses of study in the "Elements of
library mechanics," the "Use of the library by
high school students," the constitution of a
desirable "Teacher's professional library and
reading-room," the securing of proper work-
ing connection between the public-school
library and the high school; the encourage-
ment of local surveys to determine the read-
ing facilities and reading habits in the home;
the adoption by state reading circles of a
reading-circle book treating of all the ideals
for which the association stands; and the
preparation for the county superintendents of
an authorized and adequate list of speakers
who can go before the county institutes and
explain effectively to the rural teachers the
aims and needs of librarians in rural schools.

Co-operation between the high school and
the library is being carried on in Sigoumey,
la., by the offer of credits in literature to
each pupil reading and reporting on four
books from a list prepared by the library.

Among the reports presented to the classi-
cal group for consideration in this the cen-

LIBRARY WORK, 1916

tral topic for discussion by all departments
of the Educational Conference of Academies
and High Schools with the University of
Chicago in April (1915) were three entitled:

I. A minimum classical library, by Harry
F. Scott, University High School

II. Periodicals and recent articles of interest
to teachers of Latin, by Clara Sullivan, J.
Sterling Morton High School.

III. The teaching of Roman antiquities in
the high school, by Mary Zimmerman, John
Marshall High School.

Mr. Scott presented a suggested list of
twenty standard works. Miss Sullivan made
the following suggestions as to the use
and selection of material from periodicals:
(i) Actual Latin phrases and expressions
gleaned from magazines; (2) English words
derived from Latin; (3) paragraphs with
words of Latin derivation, underscored; (4)
use of advertisements in magazines; (5) pic-
tures and articles pertaining to ancient
Greece and Rome; (6) analogies between
ancient times and the present. The recent
articles of interest comprised 31 different
papers from magazines and periodicals of
1913 to 1915.

In the teaching of Roman antiquities. Miss
Zimmerman sought to broaden the scope of
the Latin course; to enrich it by appealing
to the imagination of the pupil, and by giving
him a feeling of kinship for a civilization
closely related to his own. The following
topics taken from Professor Francis W. Kel-
se/s "Fifty topics in Roman antiquities"
(Allyn and Bacon) were assigned to the most
efficient pupils of the Cicero class:

1. The Roman home-life and family.

2. The Roman house.

3. The Roman dress.

4. Roman education.

5. Slavery among the Romans.

6. Trades and practice of medicine among

the Romans.

7. Roman books and their publications.

8. Roman public architecture.

9. Roman architecture of transit.

10. Roman religious architecture.

11. Roman commemorative architecture.

12. The Roman Forum.

The papers prepared from these subjects
by the pupils and submitted for suggestion
and criticism show how they vitalize the
work, and that it is an indifferent pupil, in-
deed, who does not derive some benefit from
ten or twelve such exercises.

Co-operation between the public libraries
and the high schools. Alice M. Jordan. M<us,
Lib, Club BuU., D., 19x5. p. 140-147.

"To accustom children to good reading, so
that at high-school age they will choose

wisely, is the aim of the children's librarian.
We do not always accomplish this aim. There
are outside influences which counteract, like
the presence of many magazines and much
modem fiction on the home table, the moving-
picture show and the athletic field outside the
home. There are children who come to us
too late, there are failures of our own to
meet the need of individual children. Greater
diplomacy is needed in presenting a literary
masterpiece acceptably to children of high-
school age. Bearing with them the list of
outside reading prepared by the school, these
boys and girls say to you: 'I want one book
to read for school and one good book for
myself.' Propose to them to look at the read-
ing list, and they reply: 'If it's good, it isn't
on the list.' We are still in the place where
literature and interesting books are far
asunder in the minds of many young people.
One principal tells us that his experience
proves that lists do not encourage reading.
In his school, a large technical school, they
have ceased to use reading lists for this rea-
son. More effective than reading lists are
shelves of books set aside for the use of the
older boys and girls, with attractive illus-
trated editions of standard works to tempt to
further reading.

"High school courses of study demand
fuller use of library resources than the studies
of the elementary school. For book reports,
history topics, debates, current events classes
and community civics, it is imperative that
pupils have something beyond text-books.
Commercial and industrial courses, the study
of the life of the community, the introduction
of vocational training all mean that there
must be constant reference to periodical lit-
erature, to pamphlets, to files of clippings and
pictures, and, consequently, reorganization and
readjustment of high sdiool libraries is now
going on everywhere to meet the changing
conditions."

In Massachusetts, a committee on high
school libraries sent out last year a question-
naire to 270 high schools in the state to find
out the status of the high school libraries and
the measure of co-operation they were re-
ceiving from public libraries. Out of 155
schools replying, 58 reported libraries varying
in size from 5 volumes to 5500, rooms with
seating capacity ranging from 4 to 60, and
annual book expenditures from $18 to $200.
Only five reported having a librarian who is
neither teacher nor clerk.

There are two theories among librarians
regarding high school libraries — one that a
high school library is not needed where there
is a good public library, and the other that
the library equipment of city high schools
cannot be handled by public libraries except
in rare instances.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

"A good high school library by no means
takes the place of a public library, nor does
it, if properly administered, lead children to
depend upon a few books when they should
use the greater resources of a public library.
The school library needs continually to draw
from the larger collection to supplement its
own supply. The school librarian will train
pupils to use the public library and will send
them there. There will always be ways in
which the two may be mutually helpful. At
Somerville the High School Library is jointly
administered by the Public Library and the
school department. At Framingham the Pub-
lic Library has a branch in the high school
building.

"There are advantages In each of these
arrangements. The library in the school build-
ing makes it possible for pupils to utilize the
time between classes, the free study hour, or
the few minutes before school in the most
profitable way. It enables the teacher to get
necessary material without waste of time, to
give special lessons in the library, to get par-
ticular references at short notice. It enables
the librarian to come more closely in touch
with the students, to follow the work of dif-
ferent classes, to employ bulletin boards in
conspicuous places, to seize the right moment
for introducing a good book. Affiliation with
the public library not only lessens the burden
of expense for each partner, but assures an
administrator informed regarding library
usages and library resources. More than all
else in the high school library the right ad-
ministrator is needed. A small collection of
books, and behind it an enthusiastic book
lover, who is also a sympathetic friend to
young people, will do far more than a large
and excellent library left to the care of an
inexperienced assistant or one of the older
pupils.

"The committee inquired further of the
high schools as to their relation with the public
libraries in their respective towns. Out of
155 libraries, 117 report that they have co-
operation with the public libraries. Uusually
this takes the form of classroom libraries,
or deposits of books, and instruction in the
use of reference books, training the student
to use the library with the least waste of time.
Twenty schools report that their pupils re-
ceive such instruction from public library
assistants. A very large number of the
schools answering the questionnaire evidently
do not know whether the public library offers
any systematic instruction or not This is
the case in one instance where such instruc-
tion has been offered repeatedly, by circular
letters and by word of mouth.

"In 41 schools instruction in the use of
books is given by teachers, usually by the

teachers of English and history. Such in-
struction generally takes the form of occa-
sional lessons when the teacher feels that they
are needed, rather than any systematic study
or exercise assigned to pupils. Credit for
such lessons is seldom given. Are we not
agreed that such instruction has little practical
value unless some actual practice in handling
catalog and reference books is given the
student?"

ciety, March 18, 1916. p. 408-411.

SCRAP BOOKS

Clippings
A patent has been granted to Irving R.
Alien, of Chicago, for a scrap book which is
illustrated and described in the U. S. Patent
Office Gazette, vol, 220, p. 1250, Nov. 23, 1915.
The scrap book comprises the usual pair of
covers with a number of single sheet leaves
bound and adapted to receive printed and
illustrated descriptive matter. The feature of
the patent is an ingenious double extensible
sheet bound with the single sheets. This ex-
tensible sheet is scored — and reinforced by
fabric strips at the score line — so as to permit
the extensible portion to be folded down to
lie within the space occupied by the book.
The advantage of the extensible sheet is to
receive printed pictorial and other illustrative
matter of larger area than any single or
double leaf of the book.

Suggestions for making the celebration of
the great tercentenary of April 23, 1916,
effective among small libraries. Contained in
an address by Prof. D. K. Dodge, University
of Illinois, Champaign, delivered before the
Illinois Library Association, Nov. 3, 1915.
"The selection is made not from the view-
point of a teacher of literature," says Prof.
Dodge, "but to consider the needs of the
general reader, members of women's clubs
and high school pupils." For the sake of
clearness a classification of Shakespeare's
works is adopted, beginning with : i. Editions.

LIBRARY WORK, 1916

119

While every university library and every
large public library will have a set of the
Cambridge Shakespeare, the standard critical
edition for the serious student, at the smaller
library, where only one edition is needed for
the general reader, it should be annotated and
should contain a vocabulary. Among such
editions, the best are the Rolfe (rev.), the
Hudson (new), the Arden, the Dowden, the
Temple, and the Tudor. Of inexpensive one-
volume editions are the Globe, and the Oxford
or the Cambridge Poets* (Neilson). For the
use of the high school depending upon the
public library, volumes of the Fumess
Variorum edition should be procured of the
plays studied in the English course.

With various volumes recommended under
each subject heading, the classification is thus
extended :

2. Contemporaries of Shakespeare.

3. History of the Elizabethan .drama.

4. Biography.

5. Critical works.

6. Topography.

7. The Elizabethan stage.

S. Modern stage interpretation.

9. Miscellaneous.

While far from being exhaustive, the list
of books given is claimed to be "ideal" in
its entirety: "It contains no titles that might
not properly find a place in any general col-
lection of Shakespeariana."

LIBRARY LEGISLATION IN 1916

By W. R. EASTMAN

LIBRARY LEGISLATION IN 1916

By W. R. Eastman

Reports have been received from the
ten states in which legislative sessions have
been held during the year 1916. Twenty
propositions affecting libraries were offered
and ten were adopted Of these, New
York adopted eight and Virginia, two. Six
of the eight for New York were strictly
local Rhode Island and Mississippi con-
sidered but rejected important measures
of library law. The ten bills which did not
pass present subjects of general interest
which is as great, if not greater than that
of those which were placed on the statute
book. They show the tendencies of library
thinking and effort if not the achievements
of the year.

APPIROPRIATIONS

Reports indicate that appropriations for
libraries and library service in the ten
states were not materially changed from
those of the preceding year.

In Virginia a special appropriation of
$4000 was made to furnish metal filing
cases for such of the state archives as are
under the control of the library board.

LIBRARY COMMISSION WORK

In Virginia, an attempt was made to
secure the services of a library organizer
to go about among the libraries of the
state under the direction of the library
board. The bill for this purpose failed by
reason of a feeling that the state's financial
condition did not warrant the necessary
expenditure.

LIBRARY ESTABLISHMENT

A proposition was made in New York
to authorize the creation of educational
corporations under the Membership G)r-
poration law in cases in which the con-
sent of the Regents should be given. Under
the present law the Regents have exclusive
power, outside of the legislature, to charter
an educational corporation. The proposi-
tion to change this was not adopted.

LIBRARY BUILDINGS

The charter of the village of Fredonia,
New York, was amended to permit the

village to borrow money and issue bonds
to the amount of $25,000 to be used in
erecting a new library building upon the
lot now owned by the village and used for
the Darwin R. Barker Library, provided
that the consent of a majority of the tax-
payers, representing a majority of the as-
sessed property of the village, is first ob-
tained.

In the village of Kings Park on Long
Island, New York, the land commissioners
are authorized to grant a certain piece of
land, approximately 130 by 400 feet in
extent, for the erection of a building
thereon for the joint use of the free public
library and the village fire department.

The charter of the city of Newburgh,
New York, was amended so as to vest the
title to school and library buildings in the
city instead of, as formerly, in the board
of education.

COUNTY LIBRARIES

A bill for county free libraries was intro-
duced in the legislature of Mississippi but
was not reported from the committee to
which it was referred.

TAXATION

New York exempted from taxation all
real estate owned by a free public library
situate "outside of a city" the income from
which is needed and used for the purposes
of the library. Formerly, free libraries in
villages of the third and fourth class were
benefited by such exemption.

The proposition in the same state to
exempt from tax all the property, both
real and personal, of a public library free
to the people, which failed in the previous
legislature, was again offered and again
failed.

A proposition, also in New York, to
limit the tax levy for the support of a
county library to the proper^ of such
towns in the county as are not otherwise
taxed for public library purposes, was of-
fered but failed.

The charter of the city of Johnstown,
New York, was amended to provide that

252

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

while the city must continue under its
agreement with Andrew Carnegie to pay
$2500 a year for the support of its public
library, the common council of the city,
including the Mayor, may by a two-thirds
vote increase the amount of this payment
in any year, but cannot decrease it.

The charter of the city of Rochester,
New York, was amended to provide that
the cost of maintaining the Public Library
is to be included in the yearly estimate of
city expenses and the amount estimated for
the library must not be less than three one-
hundredths of one per cent, of the total
assessed value of all assessed property.

An amendment to the library law of
Ulinois, passed in 19 15, but overlooked in
the report on legislation of that year, in-
creased the maximum tax levy for city li-
braries from one and two-tenths mills to
two mills on the dollar and, in cities of
over 100,000 population, from six-tenths
of a mill to one mill. A clause was also
added to the law to require library trustees
to inform city councils in writing of the
amount needed for running expenses of
the library. Many cities are now levying
the full two mill tax for their libraries.

SCHOOL LIBKARIES

A bill to promote the efficiency of library
service in public schools was introduced
in the legislature of Rhode Island. This
provided for the annual payment of $300
to any city or town, the school committee
of which should employ a school librarian
or a librarian for each high school, the
above amount to constitute one-half of
the salary of each librarian so employed.
Rules to govern this library service were
to be made by the state board of education.
It was made a condition of the proposed
payment that, in each case, the library ser-
vice should meet the approval of the state
board and that the librarian employed
should hold a certificate of qualification
issued by that board.

The finance committee of the House gave
a hearing on the bill but it remained on
the files of that committee at the close of
the session.

STATE LIBRARIES

The trustees of the Massachusetts State
Library asked for the appointment of a

director of legislative reference but the
request was not granted.

The board of the Virginia State Library
was authorized to publish annually as a
part of its report such special matter as
it may deem of sufficient value from an
historical standpoint not increasing the
volume beyond 600 pages.

PUBLIC DOCUMENTS

In New York a bill was offered provid-
ing for the publication of a series of "New
York Legislative Documents" to be pre-
pared and indexed in the State Library
and to carry serial numbers. This failed
to pass.

Still another bill in New York, restating
former 'provisions and generally providing
for the distribution of documents by the
State Library, was offered but not adopted.

LAW LIBRARIES

In New York, the law of 1915, creating
a legislative library and placing it tmder
direction of the clerks of the Senate and
Assembly, was amended to give the direc-
tion to the "legislative librarian" and to
provide that salaries be paid from money
appropriated for compensation of officers
and employes of the legislature.

By an amendment to the Education law
of New York the Riverhead Law Library
was made a law library for the second
judicial district of the Supreme Court, its
three trustees to be named by a Supreme
Court justice residing in Suffolk cotmty.
It is to succeed to the books and library
property of the Suffolk County Bar Asso-
ciation when conveyed by that association,
and will be supported as a county charge
by moneys raised for court expenses. The
salary of the librarian is to be $600.

CARE OF BOOKS

A bill was offered in New York to pro-
vide that any second-hand bookdealer who
buys or receives a book belonging to a pub-
lic, college or university library without
ascertaining by diligent inquiry that the
seller has a legal right to the book, shall
be liable to fine or imprisonment. This
provision corresponds with existing law
for the protection of articles similarly
taken from railroads and other public cor-
porations, but as applied to library prop-
erty it failed of enactment.

LIBRARY SCHOOLS AND
SHORT COURSES

LIBRARY SCHOOLS AND SHORT COURSES

In the following pages have been brought together data regarding the principal courses
of instruction in library economy, both in the schools of professional standing whose
graduates are qualified to assume positions of considerable responsibility, and in the
shorter courses which often furnish the only 'opportunity for the assistant or the individual
in charge of the small library, to secure systematic instruction in the rudiments of
library service.

In arranging the material, the schools which hold membership in the Association of
American Library Schools, as well as those others whose course of study covers one
full year or more, are placed together in chronological order according to the date of
their foundation. The shorter courses follow, grouping together those given by the library
commissions in various states, and those offered by universities and other educational insti-
tutions as a part of their regular summer sessions.

LIBRARY SCHOOLS 287

general reference books and its special alcoves for technology, genealogy and local
history and education, there are four large special reading rooms devoted to law, public
documents and legislative reference, medicine and general periodicals. More than 400,000

brary work or under written appointment to it. The course is six weeks in length. In alter-
nate years this is divided into two separate parts of three weeks, each devoted to a
group of related subjects. Residents of New York pay no tuition. Others pay $20 for
a six weeks session or $10 for a three weeks session. Summer work is not credited
toward a degree.

For the past three years a ten-days institute for high school librarians has been
conducted in co-operation with the School Libraries Division.

PRATT INSTITUTE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE

(Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, N. Y.)

History. The School was started as a training class in the spring of 1890 under
Miss Margaret Healy, the first director of the library at Pratt Institute, with two
separate courses, — Cataloging and Library Training. Instruction was given by members
of the library staff. It was reorganized as a regular school with its own faculty and
a unified course in 1895 when Miss Mary Wright Plummer, the librarian, succeeded Miss
Healy as Director. In 1904 Miss Plummer resigned the librarianship of the Pratt
Institute Free Library but retained the Directorship of the School which then became
separate from the library as an administrative unit. Miss Plummer withdrew from) the
School in 191 1 and the School was again reunited with the library under the Director-
ship of Edward F. Stevens, the librarian. Miss Josephine Adams Rathbone, who had
been connected with the School since 1895, was made Vice-Director and School execu-
tive.

The School has from time to time conducted special second-year courses, a historical
course in advanced cataloging and bibliography; a course in children's work — ^the first
to be offered anywhere — and a normal course to fit students to teach library science.

The Pratt Institute School of Library Science is a charter member of the Association
of American Library Schools.

Finances. The Library School is maintained by an annual appropriation from the
endowment income of Pratt Institute based upon a budget submitted by the Director.

The tuition fee is $100.00 per annum, payable in three instalments. This fee includes
payment for certain special privileges offered by Pratt Institute.

Faculty, The faculty for the year of 1916-17 is as follows:

Edward Francis Stevens, B.A., Pratt 1903, Harriet B. Gooch, Pratt 1898, Instructor in

Annie Mackenzie, Head of Circulating De-
partment.

Laura E. Palmer, Head of Art Reference
Department.

Eleanor B. Woodruff, Reference Librarian,

Entrance Requirements, Admission is by examination in History, Literature, General
Information, Current Events, French and German; all who apply are examined, whatever
their education or experience, since it is desired to keep an open door for the unusual
person who may not have had a standardized education. From those who pass a class of
25 is selected.

Curriculum, The school offers a one year general course in library work. The course
fits students, depending on their ability, previous experience and education, for positions
as librarians of small libraries, heads of departments, children's librarians or assistants
in public, educational or other libraries. Placed as it is in a public library, the school
naturally emphasizes public library work, and over 60 per cent, of the graduates go into
this field.

The course consists of 487 hours of class work, 275 of which are fi^ven to technical
subjects, 149 to book courses and 67 to administrative courses, and of 396 hours of prac-
tice work in the Pratt Institute Free Library, 45 hours of field work, visiting libraries and
other institutions in and around New York, and of a week of visits to more distant
libraries.

The practice work is planned with the needs of the students rather than the benefit of
the library in view, and is carefully supervised, revised, and reported on. In addition to
work in the Pratt library, opportunity for work in certain branches of the Brooklyn
Public Library is regularly offered, and students wishing to specialize are allowed to do
practical work in many of the libraries of Greater New York.

The resources and opportunities of New York are drawn on to add richness and
variety to the course, — ^book auctions, publishing houses, private libraries, lectures at the
Brooklyn Institute and at Columbia University — all contribute to this end, and the stu-
dents are kept informed of art exhibitions, the opera, concerts, good plays, special musical
services, and noted preachers, and are urged to do as much outside as is compatible with
good work.

Equipment. The School is housed in two large, sunny class-rooms on the third floor
of the library building. It has as its laboratory the Pratt Institute Free Library with a
collection of 115,000 volumes and with all the functions of a public library. In
addition Pratt Institute has a Rest House where the best of care can be had in case
of illness. Medical attendance, a gymnasium, club houses for men and women students.

LIBRARY SCHOOLS 289

a conrse of general lectures and readings, one of lectures on art, and many educational

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS LIBRARY SCHOOL

History. The Armour Institute Library School, Chicago, began work in 1893, under
the directorship of Miss Katherine L. Sharp. In the summer of 1897 the School, with the
good will of the Institute, was transferred to the University of Illinois, Miss Sharp becom-
ing librarian of the University and Director of the new Library School. During the first
two years, the course at Armour Institute was a one year course; during the other two
years the course covered two years. Beginning with its connection with the University the
School required the completion of two years of college work for admission. In September,
1903, the requirements for entrance were increased to three years of college work; since
September, 191 1, only college graduates or those possessing equivalent training have been
admitted as regular students. IHiring the 24 years of the School 606 students have matri-
culated; of these, 532 have completed one year's work, and 278 the two years* course.
About 400 are now engaged in library work. The school is a charter member of the
American Association of Library Schools.

Finances. The School is supported by appropriations from University funds made by
the Board of Trustees on the recommendation of the President of the University.

The new students pay a matriculation fee of $10, and each semester a fee of $12, the
fees being turned into the general University treasury. The expenditures for the Library
School during the year 191 5- 16 amounted to $10,006.48.

Credit is reckoned in semester hours. An hour is one class period a week for one
semester, or the equivalent; each hour presupposes two hours of preparation by the student

A student who has completed the junior year, and desires to fit himself thoroly for
work in a business, agricultural, school, historical or other special library, may with
the approval of the faculty, elect appropriate courses in other departments of the University
in lieu of certain of the required senior courses.

One month of field work in an assigned public or other library is required of each
senior.

All students are required to spend a week each year in visiting certain designated
libraries; these annual visits alternate between Chicago and vicinity, and St. Louis and
vicinity.

Equipment. The Library School occupies five rooms on the upper floor of the Library
Building. Each student is given a desk in the study room. The Library School collection
of publications relating to Library Economy and to the history of books, printing and
libraries, is shelved in the school rooms. A collection of books designed for practice
cataloging and a collection of about 400 children's books are maintained.

The chief equipment of the School, however, is the University Library of 366,245
volumes, 89,351 pamphlets, 4072 pieces of sheet music, and 3180 maps. The library staff,
distinct from the faculty, numbers about sixty. Twelve departmental or branch libraries
are maintained in various buildings on the campus, eight of these containing over lo^ooo
volumes each.

Summer Session, The Library School has for the past six years conducted summer
courses in library training intended primarily for librarians and assistants in Illinois
libraries. Work done in the summer session has not been accepted for credit toward the
B.L.S. degree. Students in these courses must be high school graduates and actually
engaged in library work. Altogether 137 students have been enrolled in these courses, of
whom 100 were from Illinois libraries.

LIBRARY SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN

(Madison, Wis.)

History, The Library Scnool of the University of Wisconsin is the outgrowth of
the Wisconsin Summer School of Library Science, which was established in 1895 at the
urgent solicitation of Frank A. Hutchins, then chairman of the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, and Dr. Reuben Gold Thwaites, a member of the commission. Miss Kath-
erine L. Sharp, in charge of Armour Institute Library School, was the director for the
first two sessions, and was succeeded by Miss Cornelia Marvin, who conducted the ses-
sions for nine years. In 1905 with Henry E. Legler as secretary of the commission the
course was lengthened to a year under the name of the Wisconsin Library School, and
Miss Mary Emogene Hazeltine was selected as preceptor. In 1911 the school became
l^ally a part of the state university under the name of the Library School of the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin, tho it still continues to be administered wholly by the library
commission. Both a year's course and a summer session are offered by the school; the
class of 1916 was the tenth graduated from the regular course of one year, while the
summer session of 1916 was the twenty-first in the summer series. The school is a charter
member of the Association of American Library Schools.

Finances. The summer sessions of 1895 and 1896 were financed by the Hon, J. H.
Stout. In 1897 the library commission, thru its increased appropriation, was enabled
to carry on the work of the school from its own funds. In 1905 the state legislature
granted to the commission a continuing appropriation for the purpose of conducting the
year's course. In 1909 the regents of the university were authorized to co-operate in the
maintenance of the school and two years later a subvention of $7500 was made towards
its support.

Tuition fees for residents of Wisconsin are $50, and for non-residents, $100. The
library commission is allowed to retain the fees to aid in defraying the expenses of the
school and the special courses offered by the faculty in the university. A part of the
tuition fees are devoted to the payment of the traveling expenses incurred in going to
and from field practice.

Faculty. The faculty for the year 1916-17 is as follows:

Matthew Simpson Dudgeon, M.A., LL.B.. Elva Lucile Bascom, B.A., B.L.S., Instructor

Director. in Book Selection,

Mary Emogene Hazeltine, B.S., Preceptor. Clarence Brown Lester, M.A., Instructor in

Helen Turvill, B.A., Instructor in Catalog- Reference Work, Public Documents,

ing. Classification, Library Economy. Mary Allegra Smith, B.L., Lecturer on Li-

Mary Frances Carpenter, B.L., Instructor in brary Administration and Equipment.

Library Literature, Librarian of School Helen R. Cochran, B.A., Reviser.

Collections, Supervisor of Revision. Lucy M. Curtiss, Staff Secretary.
Marion Humble, Instructor in Children's

Literature, Loan Administration.

In addition to the above the school has a staff of regular lecturers drawn from the
faculty of the university and from the public men of the state. Each year the school also
secures as special lecturers, librarians of prominence, educators, and literary leaders.

A vital feature of the school organization is the fact that every member of the
faculty visits libraries for the commission, thus keeping in touch with library practice and
methods, and helping to advance actual standards.

Entrance Requirements. Without exception all applicants are required to take the
entrance examination which is held each year on the second Friday in June. These exam-
inations are competitive, presupposing as a minimum of education a high school course or
its equivalent, and are designed to test the education, reading, and general information of
the applicant, especially in history, general literature, current events, and German or
French. A required personal interview and searching correspondence are also helpful
in determining the qualifications and characteristics of each applicant. The class is made
up from those candidates who pass the examinations with the highest percentage, and
whose additional qualifications, including college education, literary attainments, library
experience, and personality seem to render them specially qualified for library careers.
Accepted candidates without library experience are required to serve a definite period
of apprenticeship before entrance. Ability to use the typewriter must likewise be gained
before admission.

Curriculum. The school year is divided into two semesters. The average number
of class appointments per week is fifteen.

Credits for University Work. A joint course with the College of Letters and Science of
the university has been arranged. Properly qualified students in the College of Letters and
Science who have passed entrance examinations for the library school may receive twenty
credits towards a degree of Bachelor of Arts for the work done in the school.

Two months of field work in Wisconsin libraries under the direction of the faculty
is required of all students. During February and March of each year the academic schedule
is suspended, and the students are sent into the libraries of the state for this required
work; according to a carefully planned schedule.

LIBRARY SCHOOLS 293

Equipment. The school is located on the second floor of the Madison Free Library
building. This location enables the students of the school to use the free library as a
daily laboratory. The quarters of the school, planned for the purpose, are pleasantly located
and conveniently arranged and equipped. They include the offices of the preceptor, a large
school-room, a lecture room, a typewriting room, a technical library and faculty office room,
a reference and reading room, and a gallery for exhibitions.

The technical library of the school comprises 6300 volumes of general reference works,
subject and trade bibliographies, books for illustration in presenting the different courses of
study and for practice in working out lessons that are set, all necessary professional litera-
ture, and a considerable and thoroly representative collection of children's books. There
are also upon the shelves thousands of printed blanks and forms, and library plans from
various parts of the country, all illustrating different methods of administration; also com-
plete up-to-date files of reports, bulletins, and miscellaneous publications of the leading libra-
ries of the country. The students also have access to the review copies of recent titles sent
to the commission as candidates for inclusion in the monthly book lists published in the
Wisconsin Library Bulletin,

All of the libraries of Madison are at the service of the school. Their organization and
methods are studied, and they are used constantly in the preparation of lessons, bibliogra-
phies, etc. These institutions include : the Wisconsin Historical Library ; the rapidly increas-
ing library of the University of Wisconsin; the library of the Wisconsin Academy of
Sciences, Arts and Letters; the widely-known Legislative Reference Library, one of the
departments of the Wisconsin Library Commission ; the State Law Library ; and the Madison
Free Library. The public libraries in other cities of the state have also generously opened
their doors to its students, and allowed them opportunity therein for field practice.

Summer Session. The session of 1916 was the twenty-first summer school conducted
under the auspices of the Wisconsin Free Library Commission. The summer session is
designed to meet the needs of librarians of small public and school libraries in the state, and
of those assistants in Wisconsin libraries who are unable to take advantage of the training
offered by the full year's course of study. Students in the summer school must be high school
graduates and actually engaged in library work. Aft^r all Wisconsin librarians wishing to
attend the sessions have been registered, a few from other states have been accepted each
year, as space permitted. They were admitted under the same rulings as Wisconsin libra-
rians and upon a payment of a tuition fee of $20. Work done in the summer session is not
accepted for credit on the year's course.

During the 21 years, 521 students received instruction in the elements of library work, as
given in the sumn^er term, an average of 25 each summer. In 1902, 1904, and 1906 supple-
mentary courses were offered for those who had taken the elementary training in previous
years; 114 registered for the supplementary courses. In 191 1 and 1915 summer conferences
extending over a period of two weeks each were offered with an attendance of 170 in 191 1
and 17s in 1915.

Course for Teacher-librarians. With the opening of the University of Wisconsin in
1916, a course for teacher-librarians was offered by the faculty of the library school. The
object of the course is to qualify those taking it to assume, in connection with instructional
duties, the supervision of high school libraries, and to qualify them also to give instruction
to high school students in the use of books and libraries, and in the means and methods of
developing good habits and tastes in reading.

The course is conducted in the library of the Wisconsin High School (a model high
school conducted by the university), the library serving as a laboratory. It is a year's course
carrying four credits for the year, and is open to juniors and seniors in the college of Letters
and Science of the university who are prospective teachers.

Graduates. What the 272 librarians who graduated from the school during the first ten
years of its existence are (doing is shown in the tabulation below. This does not include the
36 who graduated in June, 1917. As this copy is prepared (May 21st, 1917), 28 of the 36
who will graduate with the class of 1917 are definitely located in library positions.

WESTERN RESERVE LIBRARY SCHOOL

(Cleveland, Ohio)

History. The establishment of the Library School as a department of Western
Reserve University in 1903 was rendered possible by a gift from Mr. Andrew Carnegie
to form an endowment fund. The School was opened in September, 1904 and has had
from the beginning the closest co-operation from the Cleveland Public Library, the
librarian Mr. W. H. Brett, being the Dean of the School. The school has been a
member of the Association of American Library Schools since January 1916.

Finances. The School is supported by the income from the endowment, supple-
mented by the tuition fee of $100 per year from each student. Half of this fee is
pa3rable at the beginning of the year, and half at the beginning of the second semester
in February. The expense for bo(^s, stationery and other material used need not
exceed thirty-five dollars per year; twenty-five dollars should amply cover the expenses
of the library trips. A graduation fee of $5 is charged.

Faculty. The faculty for the year 1916-17 is as follows:

Charles Franklin Thwing, D.D. L.L.D., George Franklin Strong, A.B. B.L.S., /»-

298 AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

Thruout the year lectures are given by members of the Cleveland Public Library
staflF, professors in Western Reserve University, and other local and visiting lecturers.

Entrance Requirements. All applicants for admission to the Library School arc
required, without exception, to pass entrance examinations in general literature, general
history and current information, and in two foreign languages, one of which must be
modern, both of which may be. The minimum educational requirement is a four year
high school course, or its equivalent.

Applicants under twenty years of age, and those over thirty-five who have not
had considerable previous library experience, are not admitted. The class is limited
in number and the final selection is made of those who, in addition to passing the
examinations successfully, have the education, experience and personal qualities which
seem to make them best fitted for the work.

Curriculum. The Library School course is one year in length and embraces the
elementary problems in library economy and bibliography common to libraries of vari-
ous types. A certificate is given on the satisfactory completion of the year's work.

The courses offered are grouped under three headings : Bibliographic, Technical
and Administrative. The Bibliographic Courses include reference work, government
documents, trade bibliography, subject and general bibliography, book selection and
history of the printed book. The Technical Courses include classification, cataloging
and minor related subjects, also book binding and repair. The Administrative Courses
include library organization, administration and extension, buildings and equipment, re-
ports and statistics, business methods. The Cleveland Public Library system provides
opportunity for practical experience in the loan work, and also in technical subjects.

Open Course. An Open Course of twelve weeks is offered during February, March
and April of each year, to which special students are admitted. The basis of this course
is a series of weekly lectures on "The Public Library and Community Welfare" and
the regular lectures in Library administration and extension. Students may also attend
any of the lectures in the regular courses, but no grades or credits are given. Appli-
cants for admission to this course must have had previous library training or acceptable
library experience.

Equipment. The School is housed in Adelbert Hall of Western Reserve University.
The first floor is given up to the offices and lecture rooms, the second floor to the study
and work rooms of the students.

The School has a reference collection of trade bibliographies, encyclopedias, dic-
tionaries, catalogs, periodicals, books and pamphlets on library economy, which is being
increased from year to year. It has also a practice collection of books sufficiently
comprehensive to exemplify the problems of classification and cataloging. In addition
there is in operation in the School building the East Branch of the Cleveland Public
Library, numbering about 4300 volumes, which is open to the community. Typewriters
of recognized standard models are provided for the daily use of the students.

LIBRARY SCHOOL, CARN£6I£ LIBRARY OF ATLANTA

(Atlanta, Georgia)

History. The Southern Library School was established April 5, 1905. It was made
possible by the generosity of Andrew Carnegie, who agreed to give the sum sufficient
for an experimental term of three years. In April, 1907, the name of the School was
changed to the Library School, Carnegie Library of Atlanta, and on December 7, 1907,
Mr. Carnegie agreed to continue the school. Anne Wallace was the first director of the

SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SCHOOL

(Syracuse, N. Y.)

History, This School originated in a training class which was established in 1896 to
provide assistants for the University Library. At the request of a trustee of the University
who had built and endowed a public library in a neighboring city the first librarian was
admitted to the training class. This was the first extension of its work Ijeyond the staff
of the University Library. A slowly increasing number of applicants gradually enlarged
the class and in June, 1908, the Board of Trustees of the University established a library
School. Although administered as a part of the College of Liberal Arts it was given a
separate technical faculty and was empowered to confer degrees. In 1915 its connection
with the College of Liberal Arts was severed and it was made one of the co-ordinate
Schools of the University.

The School has been a member of the Association of American Library Schools since
the organization of that body in 1915.

Finances, The School is supported by funds drawn from the University treasury.
The matriculation fee' is $5.00, athletic and infirmary fees $5.00 a semester, and tuition
$40.00 a semester.

Faculty. The faculty includes:

James Roscoe Day, S.T.D., D.C.L., LL.D., Elizabeth G. Thorne, A.B., B.L.S., Instruc-

L.H.D., Chancellor of the University. tor in Book Selection and Children's

Twelve members of the faculties belonging to other colleges of the University give
one lecture each before the School and from 5 to 7 lecturers engaged in practical library
work are engaged each year.

Entrance Requirements, The requirement for admission to the degree course is 15
units of high school work. A unit is the equivalent of five recitations a week for one
year in one subject. The requirements for admission to the certificate course are fifteen
units of high school work and the passing of an entrance examination.

LIBRARY SCHOOL OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City.)
History. The Library School began in October, 191 1, under the principalship of Miss
Mary Wright Plummer. From the outset it was planned as a general library school, not
as a training class for The New York Public Library. A full year of work leads to the
certificate of the School. In order to make possible more advanced and more highly spe-
cialized work, a second year (partial work) is arranged. This year it is open to graduates
of other library schools, as well as to the certificate-holders of this School. It calls for
attendance at the School on two mornings of each week, which with much outside reading
and the preparation of a very complete bibliography or thesis constitutes the work of the
year. It is possible to hold a full time position in The New York Public Library and still

meet these requirements. At the conclusion of this second year's work, the diploma of the
School is awarded.

The School continued under the principalship of Miss Plummer until failing health
compelled her resignation in the summer of 1916. Azariah Smith Root, Librarian of
Oberlin College, was appointed Principal for the year 1916-1917, securing leave of absence
from Oberlin for the purpose. In April, 19 17, Ernest James Reece of the Library School
of the University of Illinois was appointed Principal. He began his duties September i,

1917.

The School has been a member of the Association of American Library Schools from
the fotuidation of that organization.

Finances. The School is supported by appropriations from the Carnegie Corporation.
These appropriations, originally made for a trial period of five years, are now continued as
yearly grants. Students in the certificate course pay $75 a year as tuition, unless their
homes are within the municipal district, when the tuition is $45 a year. For the diploma
course the charge is $22.50 a year.

Faculty. The faculty for the year 1916-1917 is as follows:
Azariah Smith Root, Principal. Juliette A. Handerson, Registrar.

Mary L. Sutliff, Instructor. Helen Peck Young, Secretary.

Catharine S. Tracey, Instructor. Martha E. Buchanan, Assistant.

Corinne Bacon, Instructor. Adelaide R. Hasse, Special Lecturer.

Isabella M. Cooper, Instructor. Mary Ogden White, Special Lecturer.

Entrance Requirements. For admission to the School a student must be twenty years
of age, must have completed the work in a four-year high school or its equivalent, and
must pass satisfactorily entrance examinations in History, Current Events, Literature,
General Information, French and German. These examinations may be taken at the
School or by arrangement in some library near the home of the applicant.

hand, and Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, on the other.

In the senior year (partial work), the student specializes in preparation for the kind
of library work in which he wishes to engage. The four following courses are offered:
one for children's librarians; one for librarians of colleges and universities and school li-
braries; one for students who wish to become catalogers or reference workers; and one
for those fitting themselves for administrative positions.

Equipment, The Library School occupies four rooms on the ground floor of the
library building of The New York Public Library, at Fifth avenue and 42nd Street. Each
student is given a desk in the study room. The Library School collection of publications
relating to Library Economy and to the history of books, printing and libraries, is shelved
in the study room and in the adjoining class rooms. A collection of books designed
for practice cataloging and a collection to be used in connection with the
course in foreign fiction are included in the library, which now numbers about 4500
pieces. The chief equipment of the School, however, is the opportunity afforded by the
varied work of The New York Public Library. Here every variety of practice, from the
work with rare books to work with children, from work with students of an advanced
grade to work with foreigners just trying to acquire the English language, is within the
reach of the student. The Library of Columbia University and the many special libraries
in the city afford opportunity for special practice to those students intending to become
college or university librarians or special librarians.

RIVERSIDE LIBRARY SERVICE SCHOOL

(Riverside, Cal.)

History. During the summer of 1910 a few students, together with the staff of the
Riverside Public Library, began a study of the day's work in order to improve the service
and to determine the policy and direction of the institution.

During the spring of 1913 the need of a summer school was made plain by the fre-
quent calls for such instruction. The cost of a school served by a faculty of experience
and reputation seemed prohibitive, but with the training class as a nucleus a beginning
was made and the short courses have been held thru eight seasons, summer and winter.

So far as we know the only winter school conducted in the country is held at Riverside
and it has worked out very well.

Finances. The School is supported by the fees paid by students, $50 for the long
course and $39 for each short course. The expenditures for library school and other
forms of education carried on by the library during the year 1916-17 amounted to
$2516.81.

Faculty. The faculty for the year 1916-17 is as follows:

In addition to the above long course and short course teachers, lectures are given
thruout the year by members of the staff and by visitors. A great many such visitors are
available in Southern California thruout the year. There have been thirty-six teachers
and twenty-two different lecturers connected with the school.

304 AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

It is the policy of the school to bring to it the very best library practice of thtf East
To that end, six to eight teachers from the East are employed each year in the short
courses.

Entrance Requirements. For the long course, good health, fitness and at least two
years of college or an exceptionally good equivalent are required.

For the short course, students are advised to bring some library experience.

So many applicants seek registration that a great deal of discrimination and rejection
is necessary. Special students are seldom admitted to the long course, but occasionally
special students who lack college credits are very desirable students.

In 1916, by action of the board, students registering for the long course must present
two years of college.

Curnculum, The long course is eleven months. It is hoped that the University of
California will allow 24 units for this work, but no such arrangement is yet in force.

The short course, summer school, is seven weeks, winter course, eight weeks. It is
hoped that the University will allow 6 credits for each of these courses, but no such
arrangement is yet in force.

The long course covers 47 weeks. Every long course student must take 15 weeks of *
short course which leaves 32 weeks of long course work, as shown in the following
schedule:

Hours Hours

Typewriting 60 Administration 20

Shelf 130 English and story-telling ao

Business records 200 Margin for subject bibliography and classi-

Catalo|;ing and classification, including dassi- fication 52

fication by itself 330

Bibliography 50 Total 1152

Basis of criticism 20

In addition to these 1152 hours, 725 additional hours in the short courses are required
for every long course student, making 1877 hours. Nearly every student exceeds this
minimum by from 300 to 400 hours.

These assignments of time are given in total number of actual hours to conform with
the Riverside method of time schedule reports which in some degree resemble tiie indi-
vidual report system used in industrial plants.

These hours can be reduced to subject hours or units, but it should be remembered
that the Riverside School is in session six days a week, six hours a day, and that the
figures given are for minimum while most students devote considerable more time than
this minimum schedule calls for.

There are some variable subjects and duties not set down here because they are
varied. They are: branch work in public library stations and school libraries, visits to
libraries and to association meetings and special assignments of considerable range some-
times quite removed from technical library work. Take, for example, the subject of music, in
which a student at the piano before an audience interprets a composition or gives the
history of a well known song ('The Star Spangled Banner," for instance). It will be
noted, however, that no place is given to library architecture, altho one of the teachers
is an architectural draftsman. This subject is so constantly introduced as auxiliary infor-
mation that it is not given a place of its own. The same is true of pictorial and music
composition which is introduced in the course on criticism. Occasionally a series of fine art
lectures is given in one of the short courses and in each of such series attention is paid to
dty planning and beautification. The course in handicraft includes the use of drawing
board, T square and marking brush.

Students frequently make maximum records of 150 hours to aoo hours actual dass
attendance and, with laboratory, many short course students do 11 hours a day, 6 days a
week. Such hours are not permitted in the long course.

All students in tiie long course must pass on group assignment thru each department
in the library.

All long course students must also take the short courses.

A certificate is given for each short course and one for the long course.

Other Short Courses. In addition to the work in library science and economy special
courses are offered in business filisg and indexing, and a course for trustees of schools
and libraries. Special students are sometimes admitted without any requirements to such
courses as story-telling, fine art and other subjects added to the curriculum, but not essen-
tially of technical library character.

Eqidpment, THe Riverside Public Library is also the County Free Library and
serves seventy branches and stations over a county the size of Massachusetts.

The main library building has 1200 square yards of floor space. It contains a large
reading room, young people^s room, catalog room, newspaper room, stock room, bindery
and repair shop, rest room and kitchen for employees, periodical stacks, document stack and
reference room, the main floor stack and the ofiice and board rooms.

The library has besides the floor space in the main library several rooms in the large
church just across the street Plans are now being made for an addition of 1000 square
yards of floor space in the main library, of which about 400 square yards will be devoted
to library school purposes.

The library has a school equipment of books on library economy and related articles,
has a good collection of rare books, early printing, etc., and carrier a full supply of
texts, students being required to furnish pencil, note paper and apron, and nothing else.

The library contains about 70,000 volumes, an excellent collection of bound music
scores, about 10,000 volumes of government publications and a large collection of pam-
phlets, maps and filing devices. It has a special classified collection of local history
worked out decimally, and in addition to the regular collections in a Hbrary there is a
very strong collection of agriculture and horticulture.

Number of Graduates. Two hundred and four students have been connected with
the school, of whom sixty-four were in the long course.

CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY SCHOOL

(Sacramento, Cal.)

History. The California State Library School was established by a resolution of
the Board of Trustees of the California State Library, adopted September 4, 1913.

The year's course for the first class was from January 14, 1914 to December 18, 1914.
The course now begins in September and ends in June. The size of the class is limited.

The entrance examinations are conducted by the California State Civil Service Com-
mission and the California State Library.

During the four years of the school, forty-one students have completed the course.
Of these, all except two are engaged in active library work. At the present time, the
school is not a member of the Association of American Library Schools, but application
for membership has been made.

At a meeting of the State Board of Education held in August 1916, a regulatioo
was added to those governing high school certification, whereby holders of Bachelor de-
grees granted by the University of California, Leland Stanford Junior University and
the University of Southern California, who have completed the required fifteen units
of work in education, including practice teaching, and who have completed one major
and one minor in subjects taught in the high schools of the state, may elect to spend
the required year of post-graduate study at the California State Library School. At the
end of the year, credentials for library work and for high school teaching are given.

3o6

Finances. The School is a part of the California State Library and supported by
State Library funds.

There are no charges for the course of instruction and the necessary supplies and
text-books are furnished by the State Library.

For the benefit of those who find it difficult to specialize for a year after finishing
a college course, the Library undertakes to furnish compensation work, such work to
be done Saturdays and after library hours.

Lecturers. With the exceptions of some outside speakers engaged for lectures on
special subjects, the lecturers for the course are heads of the departments of the Cali-
fornia State Library.

Every afternoon during the year is devoted to practice work in the different de-
partments of the State Library. Each student spends a short time in each department
the first term and a longer time the second term. The actual work of the department
is given and carefully revised.

At the time of the annual convention of county librarians, which meets in Sacra-
mento, usually in the fall, regular school work is adjourned, so that the students may
attend the meetings, thus becoming familiar with actual problems of county library work,
and making the acquaintance of the prominent workers in the state.

LIBRARY SCHOOLS 307

Equipment The lecture room of the Library School is located on the fifth floor
of the Library. All assigned work is done in the Library at large wherever the assign-
ment takes the student. As a laboratory, the California State Library offers a collection
of about 300,000 volumes, including its law library, the collection of federal, state and
municipal documents; the collection of books for the blind; the special collection on
California; and the Sutro collection of rare books.

Equipment, The school occupies a large class room on the tenth floor of the office
building which houses the Los Angeles Public Library. Each student has a desk in this
room and the school collection of publications relating to library economy is shelved here.
In addition to the library economy collection, the school equipment includes a model collec-
tion of juvenile books, some general reference books, mounted samples illustrative of library
methods, vertical files of records and lecture outlines, etc.

The Los Angeles Public Library has a collection of 300,000 volumes. Eight of
its branches are housed in Carnegie buildings and a staff of 150 administers the system.

Open Courses. The school does not conduct summer courses, but during five weeks
in the spring a series of the regular courses are open to those engaged in library work
in the vicinity of Los Angeles. Twenty-eight librarians and assistants attended these
open courses in 1917.

Graduates. In July 1917, three classes with a total of 44 students will have grad-
uated from the school. All graduates have library positions except a few who have
left the work for personal reasons.

not be excused from the preliminary practice work.

An entrance examination is held in the second week of June on the following sub-
jects: history, literature, current events and one foreign language. A knowledge of
typewriting is also advisable. In addition to educational qualifications, personality and
natural aptitude for the work are taken into consideration. Persons over 35 years of age
are not advised to apply unless they have had experience in business or professional work.
All candidates who are accepted will be required to do practical work for two weeks in
the Library before, the opening of the school year. Examinations should preferably be
taken at the School, but where this is impossible the examination may be taken in a library
nearer home, oiv the same date as those at the School. After the class has been chosen,
there is no opportunity until the following year for other candidates to enter unless one
or more of those accepted should withdraw.

Students are admitted at the beginning of the first term only.

Curriculum^ The curriculum combines theoretical and practical training for a scholastic
year of 36 weeks, following the two weeks of preliminary practice work at the Branch
Libraries.

The course includes instruction along administrative, bibliographic and technical lines
with practical problems and required reading which necessitate in general from one to
three hours study on the part of the student following each lecture. Seminars arc held
from time to time. Special emphasis is laid on actual practice-work in the various de-
partments of the Library and its branches, each student being assigned to work on the
r^^ular schedule for a few hours each week, lo relate theory to actual conditions. This
ts supplemented by a special assignment of four we^cs in the spring.

As a substitute for a thesis, the students are required to write all the book notes for
one number of the Monthly Bulletin of the St. Louis Public Library and also to compile
selected bibliographies.

Equipment. The rooms occupied by the school in the Central Building of the St.
Louis Public Library include a school-room 28 by 42 feet, with an adjoining cloak-room
and an office for the Principal; an assembly room 40 by 44 feet, for lectures, seating 200
persons; a class-room 29 by 36 feet, seating 150 persons, used especially with the lantern,
and an office for the Chief Instructor. Space in various other parts of the Library is
available for students assigned to special work.

The resources of the Library, including altogether 488,224 volumes and about 150,000
pamphlets, besides music, maps and large collections of clippings, prints and other material,
are at the disposal of the students. The variety of conditions, physical, industrial and
racial, in the territory served by the Branch Libraries, furnishes a fertile field for informa-
tive practice work.

Summer Sessioft. The School co-operates with the Missouri Library Commission and
the University of Missouri in a biennial summer school held in Columbia, Mo., on even-
ntunbered years. See University of Missouri, Short Course,

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON LIBRARY SCHOOL

(Seattle, Wash.)

History. In February, 1917, the authorities of the University of Washington created
a library school from what had been since September, 191 1, a department of instruction
in Library Economy. Since 191 1, the University has given formal training in librarianshlp
in response to urgent requests from librarians in the Pacific Northwest, who were
anxious to employ persons with a good general education plus professional training.

The work was organized as a department of instruction in the College of Liberal Arts.
The curriculum covered approximately one year of technical and professional training
and the credits for the various courses were accepted by the University at full value
toward the A.B. degree. The professional and technical work was given in combination
with scholastic work and occupied approximately one-half of the students time through
the Junior and Senior years. When the A.B. degree was granted it was accompanied by
a certificate showing special preparation for library service. The library certificate has
not been granted to any one who did not possess or at the same time receive the A.B.
degree.

The Library School was established in February, 191 7, with a one year curriculum
to go into effect September, 1917, offered only to students holding the A.B. or the B.S.
degree from approved institutions.

This library school is not yet a member of the Association of American Library
Schools, but application for membership is being made.

Finances. The Library School is supported from the general budget of the University
as are other schools and colleges, but no specific appropriation is made for it.

All students pay a matriculation fee of $10 and a semester tuition of $10.

In addition to the regular teaching staff as above, each year ten lectures are given to
the class in the second half of the last semester by the ablest librarians in the nearby
libraries.

Entrance Requirements. To gain admission to the library school a student must be
a graduate in Liberal Arts or Sciences from an approved college or university. The
undergraduate work must have included at least two years each in French and German
languages. Health, personality, age and previous pursuits also enter into the determi-
nation for admission.

Students in the Senior year of the College of Liberal Arts or the College of Science
in the University of Washington who wish to enter the Library School after graduation
may elect some of the more elementary courses in library economy during the senior year
and continue scholastic studies during the graduate year, taking, however, the A.B. or
B.S. degree at the end of the fourth or senior year.

Curriculum. The curriculum is one year in length, but may be divided as above.
The degree of Bachelor of Library Economy is conferred on students who complete the
one year curriculum of thirty-two credit hours above the A.B. or B.S. degree.

The credit is reckoned in semester or credit hours. Each hour is one class period
per week for the semester of eighteen weeks ; i. e., one credit hour demands eighteen
class periods of lecture or recitation and presupposes two hours of preparation for each
hour of recitation or lecture.

Practice. Practice under careful supervision and criticism covers 420 hours — four-
teen hours per week for thirty weeks, beginning with the first of November. Reduced
to library service schedule, the practice hours are equivalent to ten weeks of full time
schedule.

The practice time is divided approximately evenly between the University Library
and Seattle Public Library where through the generosity of the Librarian and the staff
excellent opportunities are offered for valuable experience.

Equipment. The school occupies study and lecture rooms on the second floor of the
library building. In the study room each student is assigned a desk, and in this room
are fair collections of library literature in various forms: journals, proceedings, reports,
technical and professional books and practice collections. All collections are relatively
small yet, but are growing as rapidly as are other parts of the University.

The University library contains more than 80,000 volumes and the Seattle Public
Library, to which all students have easy access, contains approximately 250,000 volumes.

Number of Graduates. The first class in the department of Library Economy to
receive certificates graduated in June, 1913, and to date fifty persons have been graduated.
Of the fifty graduates from the department, forty-two are now in library service and all
but two have been in library service one year or more since graduation.

BOSTON UNIVBRSITY— COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION— COURSE

IN LIBRARY ECONOMY

(Boston, Mass.)

General InformaHon, New courses are to be offered in library economy daring the
academic year 1917-1918 in the College of Business Administration of Boston University.
These will be under the direction of Ralph L. Power, Librarian of the College and
Curator of the Museum. These courses, which will probably develop later into a de-
partment of library economy, are to train specifically for business librarianship and
teacher-librarians in high schools of commerce. They are not intended to rival existing
library schools.

Outline of Courses. Special emphasis will be placed upon training in business sub-
jects and students will follow the regular required work of degree students with the
addition of library courses. Freshmen are advised to take no more than one elective
during the first year. The course of study requires four years, one year of which will
be in supervised employment in a library under direction of the college authorities. Dur-
ing this time the student becomes a member of the Evening Division and takes one or
more courses. After the complete course is installed, special students and college grad-
uates may specialize in library work and complete the library economy courses only in one
year. The regular course leads to the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration
(B. B. A.) and an additional two years to the M. B. A. (Master of Business Adminis-
tration. Required subjects in the degree course are: bookkeeping; elementary account-
ing; mathematics of accounting; penmanship; commercial development; personal effi-
ciency; English composition; commercaasl correspondence; general economics; foreign
languages; accounting practice; history of commerce; economic history of the United
States; argumentation; commercial law; theory of money and banking; corporation
finance; trigonometry and solid geometry. There are over fifty elective courses.

The first year a small special class will be formed for personal conference work
using the library and museum as a practical laboratory. In addition the regular fresh-
man library lectures will be given. The third course will be arranged so that library
assistants in and around Boston may attend in addition to the regular students. This
course will be on the lecture plan and a large number of lecturers will assist Its pur-
pose will be to give the students a broad outlook on the library field and to serve as a
foundation for the later training. The lectures will be on different types of libraries and
library work. Filing, chart making, copy editing, proof reading and printing, statistical
indices of business conditions and other allied subjects will, for the present at least, be
given in connection with other courses of the college. The courses to follow the first
year will be fairly similar to the usual library school curriculum but from the business
viewpoint, such as: business bibliography; cataloging and classification with special em-
phasis on business problems; library administration; library filing and indexing; govern-
ment documents; types of special libraries; special library organization; library seminar;
business book selection; practice work; and reference work (special rather than general).

These several courses will be of university grade with outside study, conferences
and assigned reading and will command the same credit as other courses in the college.

Special Advantages. The advantages of Boston's special libraries and of the general
business education in connection with the special library courses are evident. Students
may specialize in any one of the following departments in addition to the library instruc-
tion; accounting; business administration; advertising and selling; foreign commerce;
secretarial studies; journalism; commercial teaching.

Summer Work, If summer session work is in demand in 1918 in the line of partial
or preliminary training for business librarians it will be given. Such a course would
necessarily be incomplete and would not be a short cut to displace the more thorough
training in the regular course.

MASSACHUSETTS FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION— SUMMER

CONFERENCE

General Information, The Free Public Library Commission of Massachusetts has
conducted, for the past two years, a conference for the librarians and trustees of small
libraries in conjunction with the summer session of the Simmons College Library School.
The purpose of the conference was to bring to the attention of the libraries ways and
means of stimulating the service rendered by them to a broader, more intelligent influence.
The intention was also to help the library, the librarians, and the commissi(Hi to find
their true relation to each other, to the community, and to the individual. Especially was

314

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

this desired in the case of the directors of the small libraries, and althoughi a general
invitation to all the libraries of the Commonwealth was issued, there was sent a personal
invitation to many librarians to attend as the guests of the commission. In these cases
the travelling expenses and entertainment expenses were paid by the commission from funds
allotted to "direct aid" to libraries.

Program, The program and the conduct of the meetings is somewhat different from
the conferences formerly held at Amherst in conjunction with the conferences for rural
workers of the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The instruction is given by lectures,
mornings and afternoons, and emphasis is laid on one phase of library economy with
several lectures devoted to it. Exhibits and demonstrations together with visits to
neighboring libraries ?lso play their part of inspiration. The opportunities for art, drama
and music in the city are eagerly seized by those whose lives are spent for the most part
in small villages without such advantages. Round table discussions at the commission
office in the State House, and dormitory life during the conference have proved of great
benefit to those attending. The 1917 conference had an average attendance of one
hundred and five.

Instruction. The lecturers included Charles F. D. Belden and Hiller C. Wellman of
the commission; President Henry Le favour, Dean Sarah Louise Arnold, and June Richard-
son Donnelly of Simmons College; Alice G. Higgins of the Boston Athenaeum; Alice G.
Chandler, Woman's Education Association; Hazel W. Benjamin, Easthampton; John G.
Moulton, Haverhill; Ida F. Farrar, Springfield; Edith Guerrier, Boston Public Library,
North End Branch; and Kathleen M. Jones, McLean Hospital.

MINNESOTA PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION— SUMMER SCHOOL FOR

LIBRARY TRAINING

(Minneapolis, Minn.)

Department of Education have held for seventeen years a six weeks' Summer School for
Library Training at the State University, Minneapolis, as a department of the University
Summer session.

Entrance Requirements. The course is open only to those holding library positions,
or under definite appointment to such positions, and to teachers under contact for service
in high school libraries. There are no entrance examinations. No teachers may enroll

teaching for at least one year.

Students do not register thru the Registrar's office at the University, but registra-
tion must be made in advance thru the Library Commission or the Department of
Education.

Expenses. The course is free to all holding positions in Minnesota libraries. Board
and supplies will cost about $25 to $30. ''

Instruction and Equipment. The instructors for the 1917 course were:

Clara F. Baldwin, Minnesota Public Li- Alma Penrose, Librarian, West High

brary Commission, Director. School.

Martha Wilson, Supervisor of School Li- Ruth A. Haven, Organizer, Minnesota Pub-

braries, Director of Course for School lie Library Commission.

Librarians.

Outline of Courses. AIJ of the instruction is given in the form of lectures, supple-
mented by practice work which is carefully revised. Students will take away from the
school corrected samples of all library records. The work will require the entire time
of the student from seven to eight hours a day; two or three hours for the lectures, and
the remainder for the practice work, which must be done at the school. It will be impos-
sible for any student to take other courses in the Summer School.

The chief subjects treated will be: order and accession; cataloging; classification;
book-selection; reference work; binding and mending; administration; school library
administration; lectures. Visits to the St. Paul and Minneapolis Libraries and to the

LIBRARY SCHOOLS— SHORT COURSES 315

NEW JERSEY PUBLIC LIBRARY COMMISSION— SUMMER SCHOOL

(Asbury Park, N. J.)

General Information. The first session of the school was held twelve years ago in
the Asbury Park Public Library, where it has been held ever since, with the exception of
two years, when, for various reasons, the Commission considered it inadvisable to have it.
One other year in place of the school they had a week's institute, when lecturers of
national reputation, both in and out of the library profession were brought down to
talk on literary, educational and professional topics. The object of the school is to
raise the standard of work done in New Jersey libraries by giving to those who cannot
afford the time or the money for longer courses, at least this much formal instruction.
The course is five weeks in length. The average number of students enrolled for the
entire five weeks course is about twenty-four.

Entrance Requirements. Only those are admitted who are under definite appoint-
ment in a New Jersey library. There have been admitted, at various times, students
from other states, principally the South, where no summer schools are held.

Expenses. The state pays all expenses, and furnishes all supplies, except the living
expenses of the students.

Instruction and Equipment. The course is the usual one in elementary library science,
approved by the A. L. A. Committee on Library Training. The fourth week has special
lectures given by visiting lecturers from the larger libraries in the state and nearby
cities, and by representatives of regular library schools. The regular daily instruction
is given by the organizers of the Commission, with occasional lectures by other librarians.
A feature of the school is the number of exhibits assembled to give point to the in-
struction given.

NORTH CAROLINA LIBRARY COMMISSION

The commission occasionally conducts special classes in library training in its own
office, whenever a sufficient number of applicants make it seem advisable.

PENNSYLVANIA FREE LIBRARY COMMISSION— SUMMER SCHOOL FOR

courtesy of the Statef College, students in the Library School may take one subject in the
Course for Teachers without additional expense. For application blanks, write to the
Free Library Conmiission, Harrisburg, Pa.

Entrance Requirements. No entrance examination will be required, but the work will
be such as needs a high school course, or its equivalent, as preparation. Credentials
showing that the applicant either holds a library position, or is under appointment to one,
must be presented with the application.

Expenses. Tuition will be free to all residents of Pennsylvania. Others will be
expected to pay a fee of twenty dollars at registration.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION— LIBRARY TRAINING SCHOOL

(Toronto, Canada)

History. The Minister of Education has authorized the establishment of a training
school for librarianship for the year 1917.

The school will open on Monday, September 10, and close on Saturday, November 10.
Nine weeks will be required for the necessary lectures, instruction and practice work for
the kind of short course approved by the Department.

The school will be under the direction of the Inspector of Public Libraries, Depart-
ment of Education. Competent librarians, including specialists in the various branches
of librarianship, will act as instructors and lecturers. First-class facilities for practice
work will be provided.

Finances, No fee will be charged, and all necessary supplies will be furnished free
by the Department with the exception of Dewey's '^Decimal Classification," and the
'*A. L A. Catalog Rules." Railway fares to and from Toronto will be paid to all
students who complete the full course.

No educational test is required, but candidates from town and city libraries should
have junior matriculation standing or its equivalent.

Entrance Requirements. Applications for admission should be addressed to Mr. W.
O. Carson, Inspector of Public Libraries, Department of Education, Parliament Build-
ings, Toronto, Ont.

Candidates, in their applications, will please state fully the experience they have
had in library work, and mention the branch or branches of the work in which special
practice is desired. Persons without experience or library positions are not encouraged
to take the course, but a few may be admitted, provided that room can be found for
them in the class. Certificates will be issued to the students who complete the course and
qualify on the examinations and practical work. They will be graded according to per-
centages obtained.

Curriculum. One half of the time will be devoted to lectures and instruction and
one half to practice. The major portion of the time will be given to the phases of libra-
rianship that are the most difficult to learn without the aid of an instructor.

The courses include: book-selection; elementary bibliography; evolution of modem
prose literature; reference work; classification; cataloging; shelf-listing and accession
work; circulation and readers' advisory work; work with children, public library and
community welfare; administration and secretarial work; simple routine and some special
lectures.

Equipment. The Toronto Public Library Board and Mr. George H. Locke, chief
librarian, have placed suitable rooms in the Dovercourt branch at the disposal of the
Department for library school purposes, and they will furnish facilities for practice work
in the various departments and branches of their library system.

LIBRARY SUMMARIES

The summaries following give the leading facts as to typical libraries, in different
parts of the country and in several fields, with which other libraries may usefully compare
their own data. It has not been possible to bring them into absolute conformity, as the
methods and figures vary in the different cases. The selection of libraries has been made
with a view to obtaining a considerable variety in range, but not all libraries which were
requested to supply data have done so.

The aim has been to state the organization of the libraries, sometimes in its historical
development, to define its field, to schedule its branch libraries, to give the names of
department heads and branch librarians, to summarize the facts and figures as to hours,
circulation, income and expenditure, etc., to indicate the privileges given to card holders,
to list the publications of the library, especially those in print, to indicate cataloging
methods and equipment, and to summarize such extension work as is done. The list of
publications, while not complete, should especially be studied by librarians with a view
to avoiding duplication, and to making available to each library the publication work of
other libraries.

This department of the Annual was started in the volume for 1915-1916, and a
schedule of the libraries whose summaries were printed in that volume is given at the
end of the present list.

AMH£RST, MASS.— TH£ LIBRARY OF THE MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL

COLLEGE

(Year ending Nov. 30, 1916.)

Organization. The Massachusetts Agricultural College opened its doors to students
on Oct. 2, 1867. Student librarians presided over the book collections until 1885 wh«n

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 327

BANGOS, ME^ PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec 31, 1916.)

History and Organisation. The Bangor Public Library is the successor of five earlier
general libraries, beginning with the Bangor Athenaeum, 1816. In 1873 the absorption of the
Bangor Mercantile Association and its library by the Bangor Mechanic Association
(founded 1828) brought the remnants of all these together, under the name of the
Bangor Mechanic Association Public Library.

In 1883 the city agreed to accept $100,000 from the estate of Hon. Samuel F. Hersey
and voted to hold it as a fund for a public library, in charge of five trustees. This
board includes the Mayor, city treasurer, and three citizens, chosen, one each second
year, by the City Council for six year terms. These trustees formed an agreement
with the Bangor Mechanic Association, under which the Bangor Public Library was
organized, with the 20,000 volumes of the Association's library as a basis and its $12,000
invested funds and the $100,000 Hersey fund as endowments. The Board of Managers
consists of the five trustees of the Hersey fund and four representatives of the Bangor
Mechanic Association; the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, who are
chosen annually by that association.

In 1905 the library, which had previously exacted a small fee from its users, became
entirely free, the city assuming the payment of the running expenses. It was housed
in rented quarters in a business block, and in 191 1 there had been accumulated 70,000
volumes and 10,000 pamphlets, making it the largest public library in the state. The
disastrous fire of April, 191 1, swept it all away. . Within a few days the library secured
quarters in the basement of the Penobscot County Court House and opened for business
with the books returned from circulation and gifts that poured in at once. There the
collection remained in cramped and inconvenient quarters till the completion of its new
home in December, 1913. As early as 1893 ^ building fund had been started which, when
the fire of 191 1 brought matters to a head, had reached $160,000. This was all given by
present or former residents, and in no case with any condition a« to naming the building.
Officials. Charles A. Flagg, Librarian.

Staff. There are 10 library assistants and three employees in the janitorial force.
System. The library is a free public library serving a population of 24,803 (Census of
1910). There are no branches. There is a traveling library system, under which collections
of 50 books are loaned to rural schools in so far as there seems to be demand for them,
and teachers are willing to co-operate.

Hours. The building is open to the public from 9 to 9 each day except Sundays and
holidays observed by the banks.

Volumes. The library on Jan. i, 191 7, contained 50,498 volumes. This includes the
more important pamphlets, which are cataloged and treated just as bound volumes. Other
pamphlets not considered worthy of this treatment are kept in a vertical file by class
number and not counted. Maps and pictures are not considered in the above total, nor
large numbers of bound and unbound U. S. (jovernment publications. The total additions
to the library in 1916 were 7448, of which 4601 were gifts; withdrawals 273, the net
addition being the smallest for three years.

Circulation. The circulation in 1916 was 84*382, or about 3^ books per capita of the
entire population, or 16 books per registered card holder. Books are issued to individuals
for two-week periods, with renewal allowed for two weeks additional. Schools, study
clubs and other institutions may retain books till needed elsewhere.

Registration. The registration period is the calendar year. Each card holder has
one white card on which one work of fiction or non-fiction may be borrowed, and any
desired number of salmon colored cards, good for non-fiction only. There were in 1916,
5133 card holders, including 1314 children, or somewhat over one in every five of the total
population.

Cataloging. In 1913 the system of cataloging was changed, and our present goal
is a dictionary catalog using the Library of Congress system thruout and its cards wherever
obtainable, with typewritten cards elsewhere. One of our inheritances from the past is the
separation of fiction from non-fiction in the catalog, giving the library at present four

Sco^e of Work, Wbile a city instittitioo in the ordinary sense, tbe libruy has reoog-
nf2ed tt» ^tculi^T titnation. As the railroad and commercial center of a vast region, witb no
large centers of popnlation and no important general libraries, the importance of building
np a strong reference collection bas always been recognized. Special efforts are node to
colttrate rdations witb, and loan needed books to smaller libraries in the neigfaborfaood, and
a large amoont of reference work is done for eastern Maine people, as remote as the
provinces on tbe cast or the confines of Aroostook on the north.

FublutUions, The only regular publication is the annual report. Special reference lists
are occasionally printed. The library also contributes a weddy letter to the book page
of the evening daily, on Saturdays. Many brief lists are multigraphed.

ExUHiion work. The library has a small lecture hall, seating a hundred, which b
Mitirely free to any club or organization doing work that can bo called literary or educa-
tional in the broad sense. The librarian or other members of the staff talk to the public
%ch€H}\ children about the library, in the third and sixth grades and 2d year High School
the last group receiving in addition detailed instruction in use of library, given to small
groups during the winter term. There is a story hour Saturday mornings thruout the
school year

Appointments are from our roll of substitutes. In the summer of 1916 a training
class in cataloging was held for a month, to which assistants and substitutes were
admitted Eight members were enrolled, of whom one was already an assistant; three
have since been appointed to the regular staff.

Income, The total income for the year 1916 was $19,134.02, including balances from
1915, $4286.50; city appropriation, $13,000; income from funds, $550; stipend from the
state, $830; fines, %2f>Z'Ai'9 irom other sources, $104.09.

Expenditures. The expenditures for the year were $14,181.59. These included salaries,
$9122.45; books, $2172.86; periodicals, $508.58; binding, $294.09; sundries (including
postage, printing, stationery, repairs, etc.), $2083.61. Balances to 1917, $495243.

Abnormal conditions. It is to be noted that the shadow of the fire of 191 1 is still
over the library. There are thousands of volumes in the library purchased and accessioned,
but still awaiting cataloging ; and especially in financial matters a normal condition is not yet
reached. Most of the books purchased since 191 1 were paid for out of the $25,000 insurance
received on the old library. This was used up in 1916, and since the middle of that year prac-
tically no money has been available for books. With 191 7 the income of the new Pierce
bequest became available, so that the library will probably have nearly $8000 for books in
1917, hut from this must be deducted bills of $1500 for books and $1000 for binding, carried
over from 1916 and settled at the first of the year.

BIN6HAMT0N, N. Y., PUBLIC LIBRARY

BOSTON, MASS.— LIBRARY OF STONE & WEBSTER

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

History and Organisation. The library department is an outgrowth of the filing de-
partment, and its inception as a feature of the filing of the documents of the office began
about 1900. It was set off in a separate department in 1907. The formal caring for the
books is the natural result of the precarious and irresponsible handling that the score or
more of books and the loose and bound numbers of technical journals were receiving — in
short, the reason for the establishment of libraries in connection with business and pro-
fessional houses generally. The service is primarily for the members of the Stone &
Webster organization, tho by courtesy and custom the library is more and more recognized
as a when-in-doubt center for getting books, periodicals and information needed by engi<«
neers, students, and others.

Officials. Its officials are:

G. W. Lee, Librarian. Alice Freeman, Assistant Librarian.

Hours. The library is open during the usual business hours, from 8:30 to 5 and on
Saturdays to i, with no hard and fast rule to the effect that it cannot be used out of hours.

Volumes. The library has about 8000 books, pamphlets and periodicals, with a catalog
containing about 100,000 cards, the majority referring to periodical references.

Circulation. The circulation was about 16,000 for the calendar year 1916.

Registration. No registration is required.

Staff. The library has 6 employees.

Extension Facilities. A growing feature is the cataloging of departmentally and pri-
vately owned books, periodicals, etc., also of the names of individuals as sponsors for their
specialties, so that often when the library has a call for a book, or a book is out, it can
refer to something privately owned, and also can refer to individuals informed on the topic
This, of course, works with the community also, and more and more the tacit understanding
is that if we will buy or subscribe to this book, you will buy or subscribe to that one.
Membership in the Information Clearing House of Boston is often much appreciated, not
only because the clearing house has particular facilities for getting information, but because
of its elasticity in forming a long arm for reference questions when work is pressing.

BROOKLINE, MASS., PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

Organisation. The Brookline (Mass.) Public Library was one of the first in Massa-
chusetts instituted under the general statute of 185 1, authorizing towns and cities to raise

History and Organisation. The University of Chicago Libraries date back to the
organization of the university in 1892, when in addition to a general library there was

COLUMBIA, MO.— UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI LIBRARY

Organieaiion. The University of Missouri Library was organized in 1841 by the Board
of Curators of the university, but was destroyed by fire Jan. 9, 1892, when only 200 volumes
of the collection of 23,000 volumes were saved. The present library, therefore, dates from
1892. With this nucleus, the collection has increased to I54*49i volumes. It was housed in
the Medical Building from 1892 to 1895 when it secured rooms in the new Academic Hall.
The library was moved from its quarters here into the new library building in September,
191 5. Only the central portion of the building has been built, at a cost of $200,000. The
library is administered by the librarian and the president of the university in the same
way that any other department of the university is administered. For a number of years
a faculty library committee officiated in an advisory capacity, but ceased to exist in 1907.
The librarian is responsible to the president and the Board of Curators.

Officials. The officials are:

Henry Ormal Severance, Librarian. Mary E. Baker, Head Cataloger.

Emma K. Parsons, Reference Librarian.

System. The university library is primarily a reference library, altho it circulates books
to citizens in various parts of the state. All the libraries of the university except the
library of the School of Mines at RoUa are under the control of the librarian. There are
branch libraries — agricultural, engineering, law and medical — ^and seven laboratory collec-
tions. In addition to these, there is a reading room in the College of Arts and Sciences
Building for under-dassmen ; a salaried assistant is in charge of it.

Hours. The library is open from 7:55 a. m. to 6 p.m., and from 6:45 to 10 p.m.;
Sundays (Reading Room only), from 2 to 5 p.m. During vacations it is open from 8 a.m.
to 12 m. and from i to 6 p. m. It is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and
Fourth of July.

Volumes. The total number of volumes in the library Jan. i, 1917, was 154,491. The
annual accessions amount to about 9000 volumes. The number of pamphlets is approxi-
mately 20,500.

Circulation. There is no record kept of the books used in the building, nor of the
books drawn for over night use. The record for home circulation is 37,000 for the year
11916. This library has an extension department and circulated individual books to the
■number of 1120 volumes. These went to 270 different towns and rural districts. Only
42 of these were outside of the state. The library has 82 package libraries of debate
material to circulate among high schools. These have been issued 166 times during the year.
The library has deposited agricultural collections of about 60 volumes each with 12 of the
county farm advisers. These libraries are under the supervision of the advisers. The
books may be loaned to citizens of their respective counties.

CONCORD, N. H.— N£W HAMPSHIRE STAT£ LIBRARY

(Year ending Aug. 31, 1916.)

Organigation. The New Hampshire State Library was begun in 1826 by the assembling,
in the secretary of state's office, of books that had accumulated in the various departments
of the state. The secretary of state was ex-officio librarian until 1864, and there was very
little legislation passed with reference to the library up to that year. In that year the
legislature passed the act under which it has been since administered. It provided that
the library should be under three trustees appointed by the governor. The state librarian
is appointed by the trustees.

Officials, Arthur H. Chase, Librarian.

System. The library is a free reference library for all citizens of New Hampshire.
Books are sent on loan to all parts of the state. Special attention is given to legislative
reference work during sessions of the legislature and to court work during sessions of the
supreme court. While particular care is used to keep the law and historical departments
as complete as possible, the ^im is to have upon the shelves the best reference works upon

all subjects.

Hours. The library is open every day except Sundays and holidays from 8:30 a. m.
to 5 p. m. During sessions of the legislature it is open Tuesday and Wednesday evenings

until 9 p. m.

Volumes, The total number of bound volumes in the library on August 31, 1916, was
155,226. To this must be added a large number of unbound volumes and pamphlets, esti-
mated at 100,000, which materially increase the value of the collection. The library sub-
scribes for and receives by way of gift something over 500 periodicals and newspapers.

Circulation. No record of circulation is kept, as the library is not primarily a circu-
lating library, but it is estimated that approximately 200 volumes are continually out on
loan to different parts of the state. There is no traveling library law in New Hamp^ire
at the present time.

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 337

Registration. An average of fifty patrons a day come to the library for work, in addi-.
tion to those to whom books are loaned. In legislative years this patronage is much larger.

DBTROIT, MICH., PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

Organisation and History. The Detroit Public Library was opened in 1865, in the old
Capitol building, with about 5000 volumes. The first constitution of Michigan, in 1835,
provided for the establishment of libraries, but thirty years intervened before such a library
as was contemplated therein actually existed in Detroit. The present building was opened
Jan. 22, 1877. Bonds have been issued, and a site secured for a new main library, the steel
structure of which has been erected. Cass Gilbert is the architect. The library is gov-
erned by a Library Commission, consisting of 6 members, appointed by the Board of
Education for terms of 6 years each. The president of the Board of Education is a mem-
ber eX'Officio. Drawing its support from city taxes and court fines, it is now on the basis
of other city departments as far as appropriations are concerned.

is extended to Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls.

ELIZABETH, N. J., FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Nov. 30, 1916.)

Organisation. By referendum vote in November, 1908, Elizabeth adopted the library
law of the state, which provides an income of a third of a mill on the city's property values
and the appointment of five citizens as library trustees in associations with the mayor and
superintendent of schools as ex-officio members. In further accordance with the provisions
of this law, organization was at once completed. In July, 1909, the Trustees of the Elizabeth
Public Library and Reading Room, a voluntary library association which had supplied the
only public library facilities to Elizabeth until this time, transferred their books and property
to the newly created municipal library board. During the first year of the city library the
service for home use of books was seven times as great as had been, possible under the
old voluntary plan. In 191 1 Mr. Andrew Carnegie presented $102,000 for a central build-
ing, and in 1912 $28,000 for a branch building. The central building opened in October,
1912, and the branch building in August, 1913.

GALVESTON, TEXAS— ROSENBERG LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

Organisation. The Rosenberg Library Association was chartered under the laws of
Texas, July 10, 1900. This is a self-perpetuating body of twenty trustees, chosen for life,
who meet annually to elect from their own number a board of seven directors, receive re-
ports, etc. The library is managed by the directors, who meet monthly. The Rosenberg
Library building was completed in 1904 and dedicated June 22, the birthday of the founder,
Henry Rosenberg, who provided in his will for the establishment of a free public library.
The Rosenberg Library is supported wholly from its endowment. The assets of the Rosen-
berg Library Association are an endowment fund of $635,000 and property used for
library purposes costing about $260,000. A subscription library was started in Galveston
in 1871 by the Chamber of Commerce. This became a free public library in 1874, and
from about 1887 was wholly supported by the city. When the Rosenberg Library was
opened in 1904 it became the free public library of Galveston, and the old public library
supported by the city was soon discontinued.

Officials. Its officials are:

Frank C. Patten, Librarian. Mary C. Gardner, First Assistant.

System. The Rosenberg Library is a free public library, serving a population of about*
56,000, with a central library and one branch, with about 3060 volumes, for colored
people. The library sends special collections of books to the public and parochial schools
and other places, such as the home for aged women, the orphan's home, the engine houses,
the telephone exchange, factories, etc. There are no deposit stations.

Hours. The library is open 12 hours each day on week days, and is open for reading
3 hours on Sundays and holidays.

Volumes. The library contains about 59,000 volumes and 35,000 pamphlets. It received
over 375 current periodicals. It has a good local collection of books, pamphlets, maps, manu-
scripts, etc, with some valuable historical scrap-books made and indexed by the library staff.
The books of the library are mainly in English, but there are collections of literature in
German, French, and Spanish. The open-shelf room contains about $25,000 volumes; part
of these belong to the reference library and part to the lending library. The finely furnished
ChiMren's Department contains about 6000 volumes. It has a card catalog and exhibit cases
and a separate story room. There is a considerable school collection of books and a large
collection of pictures to lend to schools.

were to children.

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 341

Registration, The total number of borrowers registered since 1904 is 19,152; 13,353
at present in force. Three books are allowed each borrower (two books to children), and
more when needed.

Staff. In all there are 19 persons employed by the library, 6 of these being on part
time. This includes the force for building and grounds and the watchman.

Cataloging. Cutter^s Expansive Classification is used. What Mr. Cutter calls the
author mark is not used. The accession number is the identification mark in the lending
system. Library of Congress cards are used. The principal public catalog is an index, or
dictionary catalog. Both the accession record and t)ie shelf list (class catalog) are kept
on cards. On accessioning, the order card is turned over so that the order record is pre-
served on the back of the accession card without the necessity of copying.

Extension Work. Unusual emphasis is put upon the lecture department, this being
considered an important part of the work of the library. The sum of $2000 a year is
devoted to this work. Much time and pains has been given to the building up of this
department. The aim is to furnish the best of popular and instructive lectures. There
are given each year 25 or 30 free lectures, mainly during the months of January, February,
March, and April. Good, select reading lists, printed in connection with the lecture an-
nouncements, serve to emphasize the educational character of the lectures. A conference
for discussion frequently follows a lecture. These lectures have been continued for 13
years, with an everage attendance of over 450. A number of lectures specially designed
for children, many of them illustrated, have been given in the afternoon. Reference work
is especially emphasized in this library, and good service is furnished the public. Small,
temporary exhibits are frequently installed on screens and in different kinds of exhibit
cases. Stereographs and stereopticon slides are loaned. Special instruction is given to
high school pupils in the use of the library and reference books. Story-telling is carried
on regularly in the Children's Department, and this work is frequently carried outside to
other places in the city. Apprentices are taken from time to time, but there is no class
instruction. The library has a meeting room for study clubs.

Publications. A 16-page Bulletin is issued in January, March, May, July, and No-
vember, mainly used for publishing lists of new books added to the library. These lists
are annotated. Publisher and price are given. Three special numbers have been given over
to Children's Department work. Fiction and children's books are not usually included in
the Bulletin, it being considered that the limited space is more needed for other classes of
books. The annual reports are printed in the March number of the Bulletin. The library
prints a handbook. Several lecture booklets are printed each year to announce the free
lectures.

Income. The total income from interest, dividends and rents for 1916 was $29,159.43.

Expenditures. The library expenditures for 19 16 were $26,440.39. These expenditures
included: salaries and wages, $14,189.50; books, $2916.53; current periodicals, $71044; book-
binding, $1001.12; lectures, $1989.20; miscellaneous expenses, $5633.^.

located until May, 1854, when the General Assembly provided for the appointment of a
state librarian and separate quarters which were placed in the custody of this new official.
Since Nov. 28, 1910, the library has occupied the new State Library and Supreme Court

KNOXVILLB» T£NN/— UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE LIBRARY

(Year ending June 30, 1916.)

History. In 1865-66, when the university reopened, **some part of the library, rescued
from the wreck of the war, was set up for the use of the school and a small reading
room was established in connection with the library which had been refitted and opened."
In 1869, the library, housed in a single room in Old College, had 1000 volumes. In 1892
the number of books had increased to 10,000 and the library was removed to four large
rooms in Science Hall. In 191 1 the library building, costing $56,000 ($40,000 of which
was given by Mr. Carnegie), was completed and occupied by the general library of the
university.

Officials. Its officials are:

Lucy E. Fay, Librarian. Agnes Williams, Library Assistant.

Annie T. Eaton, Assistant Librarian. M. H. Wells, Custodian of Building.

System. The library is primarily for the use of students and faculty, tho it is
open to all citizens for reading and reference. It consists of a general library land the
departmental libraries of Law, Engineering, and Geology and Mining. The Experiment
Station Library is not a department of the general library.

Hours. The library is open from 8:30 a. m. to 5 p. m. and from 7 to 9 p. m. each

35*584 and in the Experiment Station Library 7000. The number of pamphlets kept in
a vertical file, in pamphlet boxes, and in binders approximates 18,000.

MADISON, WIS.— WISCONSIN STATE HISTORICAL LIBRARY

(Year ending Oct i, 1916.)

Organization, The State Historical Society of Wisconsin was organized privately in
1849. In 1854 it was adopted by the state, from which its main support has since been
derived and for which all its property is held in trust The Society's affairs are directed
by a board of forty curators. Thirty-six of these are elected (in groups of twelve each
year) by the members; the other four, the state governor, treasurer, and secretary of state
and the superintendent of the Society, are ex-officio members. The superintendent of
the Society is vested with wide powers and is responsible to the governing board for the
administration of all its various activities. Of these the administration of the library is
one of the most important. Prior to 1901 it constituted the general library of the state.
In that year a system of close co-operation with the University of Wisconsin Library was
effected, whereby the two taken together may now be regarded as constituting the general
State Library. Both libraries are housed in the Historical Society's building, erected at a
cost of $780,000. From the viewpoint of the user the two libraries may be regarded as one,
the entire resources of the two being equally at his disposal. The Historical Library is
■specialized in character, its chief fields of cultivation being public documents, history of
the Americas and the British Isles, genealogy, newspapers, museum, and maps and charts.
The University Library is a general one, covering all fields commonly cultivated by such a
library, with the exception of those preempted by the Historical Library.

Officials. Its officials and division chiefs are as follows :

Milo M. Quaife, Superintendent. Lillian J. Beecroft, Chief of Newspaper
Annie A. Nunns, Assistant Superintendent. Division,

Iva A. Welsh, Chief of Catalog Division. Mabel C. Weaks, Chief of Map and Manu-
Mary S. Foster, Chief of Reference Divi- script Division.

sion. Anna W. Evans, Chief of Public Document
diaries E. Brown, Chief of Museum Divi- Division,

sion, Ora I. Smith, Chief of Order Division^

Hours and Service, The library is maintained primarily for reference ; along with this
a state-wide service is afforded in so far as it is possible to do so without entrenching
too seriously upon the reference functions of the library. Books are sent out freely thru
the instrumentality of the Free Library Commission and the Extension Division of the
university. Whenever practicable, loans are made to local libraries for the use of patrons
rather than directly to individuals. The principal use of the collection takes place, natu-
rally, within the building. While no exact record is kept, it is probably a modest estimate
that 1000 workers a day make use of it. Aside from the main reading room (common to
the two libraries) the Historical Library administers the museum and three divisional
reading rooms. Of the latter the document room is most numerously patronized; about
100 workers commonly visit it daily. During sessions of the university the main and the
document reading rooms are open week days from 7:45 a. m. until 10 p. m.; the other
divisional reading rooms from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m. During university vacations the
building is open from 9 a. m. until 5 p. m.

Volumes, On October i, 1916, the total strength of the library was 399,149 titles. These
figures are exclusive of the museum and manuscript collections; the latter constitutes one
of the most important collections of manuscripts on American history in existence. It

348 AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

should be noted, too, that the patron of the library has at immediate command, also, the
275,000 titles of the University Library. Thus the total number of titles housed in the
building is about 675,000. Of the Historical Librar/s collection (for the date in question)
202,609 are classified as pamphlets and 1961540 as books and bound volumes of newspapers.
The total accessions of titles for the year ending October i, 1916, were 13,175. Nearly 500
newspapers and over 500 periodicals are currently received by the Historical Library, and
about 500 periodicals by the University Library.

The Society's collection of newspapers is supposed to be the largest in America outside
the Library of Congress. In the field of public documents it has the most comprehensive
collection, probably, west of the AUeghanies. In American genealogy, local history, biog-
raphy and travel, labor and socialism, historical manuscripts, and cartography, it is also
especially strong. For the history of the middle west in particular and the study of the
westward movement in general the Society's collections are supposed to be unsurpassed by
those of any other institution.

Staff. About 30 full time workers belong to the library staff, and 14 to the caretaker's
staff.

Cataloging. A generation ago a printed catalog running to seven volumes was brought
out. At the present time this possesses only archaic interest. The library maintains eight
card catalogs, the most important of these being the one in the general reading room. The
Cutter system is followed, with such modifications as the individual needs of the library
seem to render desirable. The general reading room catalog is housed in 936 trays; the
depository catalog of the Library of Congress has 3480 trays.

Publications. The Society maintains a research and publication division, its activities
being devoted to the field of Wisconsin and Middle Western history. In recent years about
three volumes annually, besides numerous bulletins of information and other minor items,
have been published. In the year ending October i, 1916, two volumes, six bulletins of
information and one handbook were published. The current year (1916-17) will witness the
issuance of four volumes besides the usual number of bulletins and other minor items.

Finance. The Society's income proceeds from two sources: direct legislative appro-
priations and income from invested private funds, the principal of which has been donated
from time to time. The annual income from the latter source now amounts to about $5000;
it will shortly be largely increased thru the addition to the Society's funds of an important
estate which is about to come into its possession. Only such portion of the private income
is spent from year to year as may be necessary to supplement the state appropriations, on
which the Society chiefly relies for support. In recent years these have amounted to about
$60,000 annually. The ever-increasing cost of living, particularly marked since 1914, affects
the Society as seriously as it does individuals, so that unless some way can be found to
increase its income there must inevitably occur a diminution in the scope of its book
purchases and other activities.

MADISON, WIS.— WISCONSIN STATE LIBRARY

(Year ending December, 191 6)

History and Organization. The State Library was organized in 1836, pursuant to the
Act of Congress Establishing the Territorial Government of Wisconsin, which contained a
clause appropriating $5000 to be expended under the direction of the Territorial Legislature
"for the accommodation of said Assembly and of the Supreme Court." For many years the
librarian was appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Council or
Senate, and among his duties were included the care of public property and buildings. Since
1876 the library has been governed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of the judges of the
Supreme Court and the Attorney-General. Until 1875 the library was general, altho the larger
part of its collection was legal and documentary. In 1875 its miscellaneous collection, con-
sisting mostly of fiction and historical works, was turned over to the State Historical
Society. Since that time its acquisitions have been confined to law, political science, sta-
tistics and documents.

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 349

Officials, The officials of the library are: Gilson G. Glasier, Librarian,
Emma A. Hawl^r, Documentary Librarian, William H. Orvis, Assistant Librarian

Functions, The primary function of the library is to supply all the officers and de-
partments of the state with such reference material as they may need in the performance
of their official duties. The library '"is open to the public for reference, but books are
loaned only to state departments and officers. Its scope is law, political science, statistics,
etc. The library is also charged with the duty of exchanging session laws, court reports,
and all public documents with the official exchange libraries of other states, territories
and foreign countries.

Hours. The library is open from 9 a. m. until 5.30 p. m., and is open evenings from
7 to 9 during sessions of the Legislature and of the Supreme Court. The library closes
at 5 p. m. on Saturdays, but is closed Saturday afternoons during the months of July and
August.

Volumes. The library contains approximately 60,000 volumes, a large proportion of
which are legal. It has an unusually complete collection of state court reports, session
laws, statutes, legal periodicals and bar association reports. It has a practically complete
set of English reports and statutes, and contains a large collection of Canadian, Australian
and other British Colonial laws and reports. ^ Its collection of state and United States
documents is extensive, and special effort is now being made to develop this department.

Staff, The staff of the library consists of the librarian, two assistants, a stenographer,
messenger and janitor.

Cataloging, In 1904 the library published a complete printed catalog of its legal col-
lection. A card catalog has since been installed, and is kept up to date by the staff. Cards
are now being made for the document collection.

Income and Expenditure. The income of the library is derived from legislative appro-
priation, which for the past biennium has been approximately $11,000 per year, $3000 of
which was for the purchase of books and binding. The expenditures have been slightly
under that. The 1917 Legislature has appropriated to the library, beginning July i, 1917,
$9200 annually for general expense and $4000 for the purchase of books, binding, etc.

librarian directly responsible to them, with the advice, so far as educational matters are con-
cerned, of a Library Committee of the University Senate. The University Library comprises
the General Library, branch libraries in the Colleges of Agriculture, (Themistry, Dentistry,
Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Medicine and Mines, and a few departmental collections.

(Year ending, Dec. 31, 1916.)

Organisation. The New Orleans Public Library was established in April, 1896. It
was created by combining the library of the Lyceum and Library Society and the Fisk
Free Library. The Fisk Free Library was made possible by the testamentary bequest of
Abijah Fisk, who gave for that purpose in the year 1843, his house on the corner of
Customhouse and Bourbon Streets. In 1847, Alvarez Fisk, his brother, purchased and gave
to the library a collection of six thousand volumes that had been made by Benjamin
Franklin French. The library was put first under the management of the Mechanics
Institute, then of the University of Louisiana and later of the Tulane University of
Louisiana. The Lyceum Library was established by an ordinance adopted by the Council
of Municipality No. 2 on Dec. 3, 1844. '^^ library is maintained by an annual appropri-
ation of the Commission Council and the interest on the Fisk and Hernsheim Funds. The
library board consists of seven members, the mayor of the city, and each retiring mayor.
The term of the members is for life and the board itself fills vacancies. The officers of
the board are president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, assistant secretary-treasurer
and attorney. The present main library building was completed December, 1907, and the
additions were completed in January, 1914. The cost of the building was $261,620.20. The

356 AMERICAN UBRARY ANNUAl-

NOBTHAMPTON, MASS^-^MITH COLLS6S LIBRARY

(Year ending December 31, 1916.)

History and Organigation, With the opening of the college in 1875, the small col-
lection of books in the academic building (College Hall) was spoken of as the reading
room, and it was not until 1883 that the (^cial^ Circular dignified it by the word "library."
The students in the main depended upon the Public Library in the town, which was an
unusually well-selected collection. Later, Judge Forbes made it known that he would
leave to the town a large sum for a reference library, and, therefore, the college library
confined its purchases to the most necessary books. In 1894, Forbes Library was opened
and the two town libraries served the college. In 1902 the trustees of the Forbes Library
decided to consider the Smith College students as non-residents of the town and ruled
that no student should use the library except on the payment of an annual fee of $5. The
college, therefore, began to take steps to make itself independent, and a new home in 1899
was provided for the library in Seelye Hall. With the aid of Andrew Carnegie, the
alumnae, students and friends of the college, a spacious library building was opened for
use in 1910, containing two large reading rooms, a study room, nine seminar rooms, the
necessary 'workrooms, a periodical room and a "browsing room.*' The latter room is a
memorial and is furnished as a private library. It contains beautiful editions of the books
of power as a lure to the student with a bit of leisure. The librarian is of professional
rank and is a member of the faculty.

wore off slowly, and the circulation increased only 5434 (to 382,336). Losses had continued
regularly thru the first seven months of 1916. Gains began in August, and by the end of
the year the circulation was increasing as never before. The juvenile circulation was
164,683 in 1916, of which 47,434 was in the classrooms.

Registration. The total registration was 39,631 at the close of 1916. Adult cards expire
in five years and juveniles in two.

Staff. There are 22 full time, 2^ three-quarter time and 3 half-time members of the
staff. The librarian is allowed to employ as much extra labor at busy times as he wishes.
Three pages and a messenger are regularly employed, with extras as needed. There are
5 janitors.

Cataloging. There is a union dictionary catalog for the public, separate public catalogs
in the branches and the main children's rooms, shelf lists in the branches, a union shelf list
and an official (author) catalog in the main cataloging room, and a special catalog for the
^se of the staff in the teachers' room. The library has all the reviews in the Book Revieit'
Digtst, from the beginning, mounted on uniform cards and filed in one author list.

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 365

Extension Work, Story hours arc held each week in the four buildings. The branch
halls are in constant use for all kinds of meetings and social events, with very little restric-
tion. An annual training class is conducted, with competitive entrance examinations and a
five months' course.

Publications, An annual report is issued, but reading lists are mostly multigraphed.
An effort is made to produce attractive work closely resembling printed matter.

Income. The total income for 1916 was $51,924.20 including $46,997.44, derived from
a half -mill appropriation; $1771.32, collected in fines, etc.; cash from previous year, $3i55-44*

Expenditures, The 1916 expenditures were: salaries, $25,213.75; books, $9962.11; peri-
odicals, $1811.07; binding, $2560.27; furniture, $1840.51; general expenses, $4855-61; special
branch expenses, $1743.10; total expenditures, $47,986.42.

SYRACUSE, N. Y., PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

History. The first record of a public library in the city of Syracuse appears in the
7th annual report of the Board of Education of the city for the year ending March 25,
1855, when the Common Council contracted for a bookcase "to accommodate the books c^
the Central Library for years to come." In 1858 the Central Library contained 3000
volumes. In 1869 the library was moved from the City Hall to the High School.

During the first quarter of a century of its existence the library was in care of five
different persons; its development as an important institution of the city began with the
election of Ezekiel W. Mundy as librarian in 1880. Dr. Mundy remained in charge until
his retirement to the position of librarian emeritus in 191 5. By the action of a committee
headed by Giles H. Stilwell, President of the Board of Education, the library was placed
in 1893 under the charge of the Regents of the State of New York. An amendment to the
charter in March, 1888, provided that the library should have for its annual appropriation
not more than 2j4 per cent, and not less than 2 per cent, of the annual tax levy. The
Carnegie Building erected at a cost of $200,000 and located at the corner of Montgomery
and Jefferson Streets near the heart of the business section of the city was put into use
March 23, 1904.

Officials. The officials are as follows:

System. The Syracuse Public Library is free for lending and reference and has been
developed equally on these two lines. Since it is dependent upon local taxation for its
support, the circulation is free only to persons living in Syracuse or paying taxes or attend-
ing college or school or working in the city. Out of town borrowers have all the privileges
of residents on payment of a fee of $1.00 per year. In 1916 a reference room containing a
working collection of 4293 volumes was opened on the second floor of the library. Tele-

366 AMERICAN LIBRARY ANNUAL

phone information service has been developed. The Newark system of charging was
recently introduced in the Main Library and Young People's Room.

Hours. The main library is open on 350 days of the year, 72 hours each week in
summer and 76 in winter. It is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, Independence
Day, Easter Sunday and Decoration Day.

Special Collections, The Local History Room of the Syracuse Public Library includes
special collections on genealogy, local history of places in the United States, books and
printed matter relating to Syracuse, N. Y. State, Civil War history and records, and
Iroquois history. The local history feature has become more and more important in its
relation to American Colonial history and it is being used to a considerable extent by
research workers in the history department of Syracuse University. The Smith Collection
of manuscripts and books illustrating the development of the printing art contains 458
volumes presented to the library in 1908 as a tribute to Dr. Mundy by J. William Smith,
then a member of the Board of Trustees of the Syracuse Public Library. It is shelved in
the Trustees' Room and it contains a number of valuable items. The Syracuse Room
besides containing all printed books of Syracuse history and a complete file of city director-
ies, maps and clippings has made a fair beginning to the collection of books by Syracuse
authors, with Edward Noyes Westcott's "David Harum" at the head of the list. Valuable
gifts to this collection were made during 1916 by Mrs. Milton H. Northrup and other
friends of the library. The Collins Military Library made up of local and state material
relative to the war of '61 was added to this collection. A municipal reference library con-
sisting mainly of official reports and proceedings of organizations is shelved in the Reading
Room. This room also contains a large part of the vertical file collection of clippings and
loose material on local and general topics.

Circulafion, During 1916 the total circulation for the Syracuse Public Library was
429,700 in a population estimated at 150,000. New borrowers registered during the year
were 15,535 and the total number of borrowers in the Main Library and other distributing
points was about 30,000. Books are borrowed for a period of two weeks except in the
case of teachers and research workers for whom the ^riod is one month. Six books of
any class including fiction may be borrowed at one time with the exception of certain
books in great demand. '

Income, The income for the calendar year of 1916 was $51,738.17. Of this $9553.36
went for books; $1588 for permanent improvements; $1170.81 for periodicals; $3333.53 for
binding; $23,220.09 for wages for library service, and $4929 for janitor service.

Publications, The library issued 15 publications during the year, among them a Guide
to Syracuse and Onondaga County, a pamphlet of information for the Syracuse automo-
bile owner and four issues of the Bulletin, The Novemfber issue of the Bulletin contained
the list of accessions of the general library of Syracuse University and the Court of Appeals
Library of Onondaga County as well as of the Syracuse Public Library and a list of important
libraries in Syracuse. The Bulletin thus becomes a bulletin of Syracuse Libraries instead
of the bulletin of the Syracuse Public Library and it derives its support partly from the
funds of the other libraries concerned. The March, 1916, issue of the Bulletin contained as '

a feature a list of the best books of American poetry of the 20th century recommended
by the American Poetry Society of America. This list revised to date will again appear in
March, 191 7.

TACOMA, WASH., PUBLIC LIBRARY

(Year ending Dec. 31, 1916.)

Organization, The Tacoma Public Library had its origin in a subscription library
founded by Mrs. Grace R. Moore in her home in 1886. It soon developed into the "Mer-
cantile Library of Tacoma" and by 1889 was incorporated and called "The Public Librafy,**
receiving partial public support. It was formally transferred to the city in January, 1894,
and managed by a committee of the Council until August, 1906. That month it was re-
organized under the state law of 1901 and placed under a board of five trustees appointed
one each year by the mayor and confirmed by the council for a term of five years. It still

WASHINGTON, D. C— LIBRARY OF THE SURGEON GENERAL'S OFFICE,

U. S. ARMY

(Year ending Aug. i, 1916.)

Organisation. The present Library of the Surgeon General's Office is a development
from a small departmental collection of medical books gathered for the official use of
Surgeon General Joseph Lovell (appointed 1818) and added to from time to time until in
1865 it amounted to 2253 volumes. In 1868 the library contained. 6066 volumes and in i^i
13*330 volumes. Dr. John S. Billings, of the Army Medical service, who at this time was
attached to the Surgeon General's Office and had, among his other duties, nominal charge
of this collection of books, was permitted to add to this collection by the judicious use of
a fund of $80,000, a surplus remaining from funds provided for the Army hospitals during
the Civil War and no longer needed for that purpose. When this fund was exhausted
Congress provided for the continued growth of the library by annual appropriations.

Officials. Its officials are:

Lieut-Col. (Thampe C. McCuUoch, Jr., Med- Dr. F. H. (jarrison. Principal Assistant

ical Corps, U. S. Array, Librarian. Librarian.

Dr. Albert A. Allemann, Assistant Librarian.

System. While the library is nominally the Library of the Medical Corps of the U. S.
Army, it was, by direction of the Surgeon General of the Army, many years ago thrown
open to the use of other governmental departments at Washington and to the use of the
civilian practitioners of the United States. This courtesy has been continued by succes-
sive Surgeon Generals of the Army.

Hours. The library is open every day except Sundays and holidays from 9 a. m. to
4:30 p. m.

Volumes. The library at present contains 224,522 volumes, 337,120 pamphlets and
5249 portraits of physicians, and subscribers for 1895 medical journals.

Circulation. The library circulates its collection thniout the United States and, where
transportation difficulties do not interfere, to other foreign countries. While it prefers to
make inter-library loans, yet where physicians are so situated as not to be able to utilize
the services of a library in borrowing books they will be sent direct to physicians under a
minimum of restrictions believed to be necessary to protect the library's collection.

Staff. The staff consists of the 3 officials named, 2 translators, 20 clerks, 3 assistant
messengers, a watchman and a laborer.

Cataloging. The library has recently installed a dictionary catalog, using Library of
Congress cards so far as they are available.

Publications. The library publishes the Index-Catalogue, the subjects and authors
being arranged in alphabetical or dictionary order. Articles appearing in medical and
surgical journals, as well as medical books, are cataloged, thus making the Index-(^talogue,
so far as it is practicable to secure the material, a bibliography of the medical literature of

LIBRARY SUMMARIES 369

the world. One volume of the Index-Catalogue is published annually; it is now in its third
series. The first volume of this series will appear this year. Volumes I-XVI, A-Z, first
series, 1880-1895, are now out of print, as are the earlier volumes of the second series,
consisting of volumes I-XXI, A-Z, 1896-1916. Reprints from the Index-Catalogrue of
important subjects are occasionally issued.

Income. The library receives an annual appropriation of $10,000 for the purchase of
books and journals. The personnel is detailed from the office of the Surgeon General of
the Army.

WILLIAMSTOWN, MASS.^WILLIAMS COLLEGE LIBRARY

back of the building in 191 5. Previous to 1846, library facilities had been provided for
by a succession of various college societies, the earliest of which, the Adelphic Union,
dated its existence from the founding of the college in 1793. Extensive changes which
include a remodeling of the old portion of the building and the construction of a new
section of considerable size are contemplated in 1917. Beside Lawrence Hall, two reading
rooms, established in 1904 and 1908 respectively, and in charge of trained assistants are
maintained under the direct supervision of the library. Seven departmental collections
are shelved in the laboratories and other college buildings.

the college year the library is open from 2 :3o to 5 :30. The vacation hours (including the
summer months) are from 9 to 12:30.

Volumes. The total number of volumes on March i, 1916, was 83,909. Of these
3618 were added during the previous year, 2429 by purchase and 1189 by gift.

Circulation. The circulation for the past year was 17,144, not including the use of
reserve books in the main library and the reading rooms. (These figures take no account
of the departmental collections in buildings outside library supervision.)

Registration. The number of borrowers drawing books from Lawrence Hall in
1915-16 is as follows: faculty, 55; students, 350 (out of a possible 514); permanent bor-
rowers (including townspeople and alumni), 193; transients, 154; total, 752.

Stajf. The library staff is made up of 5 members who have received library school
training, a graduate student in the capacity of desk attendant, and 3 student assistants.

Cataloging. A general catalog of all the collections made up as far as possible of
Library of Congress cards is filed in Lawrence Hall, in addition to the various departmental
lists. An accession book is kept. The present shelf list was begun in 191 1. The classifica-
tion system used is modeled on the Cutter system.

Income. The library income for the year April i, 1915 to April i, 1916 was $9980.15,
plus an additional $1323.12 spent from departmental and special funds, making in all a

CLASSIFIED LISTS OF LIBRARIES

SPECIAL LIBRARIES, LIBRARIES OF RE-
LIGION AND THEOLOGY, HIGH SCHOOL
AND NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARIES

SPECIAL LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES

AND CANADA

In the classified lists of libraries on the following pages, a change has been made
from the tabulated form used last year, tho the same alphabetical arrangement by state
and city and institution still obtains. The list of special libraries has been revised and
enlarged to almost double its former size. The lists of high school and normal school
libraries have also been revised. The law and medical libraries have been omitted from
this year's Annual, and in their place a new list of the libraries of religion and theology
has been compiled. So far as known no such list exists in print anywhere, and it is hoped
that its usefulness will justify its publication here.

In all lists the libraries marked with a * failed to respond to inquiries, and the infor-
mation given is that contained in the 1916 Annual. Libraries marked with a t were re-
ported too late for investigation.
